White Horse TREC Group

Events Diary

This diary contains details of events & training run by White Horse TREC Group, and British Riding Club team events.
The BHS TREC Calendar lists all BHS TREC events & training run in the UK.

We would be unable to run any events without the valuable support and help of volunteers.

Please remember that all WHTG members are required to provide help for half a day at Winter events and one full day at a Summer event. You don't have to have any previous judging experience and help can be provided on your behalf by a willing family member or friend who doesn't even have to be horsey.

Please identify which events you will help out at this year and email alex@white-horse-trec.co.uk with the details - if you or your friend/relative has relevant experience, or no experience, please make this clear! NB records are kept and any member who competes without helping out may be excluded from competing at future WHTG events.

If you would like to attend TREC judge training please contact amanda@white-horse-trec.co.uk. It is very helpful as riders to see the rules from the judge's point of view, and will build your confidence when judging at competitions.

The roles of different TREC officials are explained here on the BHS website.
