well behaved dogs are permitted.

TREC
Techniques
de Randonee Equestre de Competition is a range of activities
designed to test a horse and riders' ability to find their
way across country using map reading skills, to keep safely
in control and to cope with the sort of obstacles and
problems that they could encounter whilst riding alone
in the countryside. TREC has been popular in France for
over 25 years and it was started originally to test the
expertise of equestrian tourism guides, but quickly appealed
to the tourists themselves and soon turned into a good
fun competition.
TREC is made up of three phases and can be run over one
or two days depending on the level of competition. It
can be ridden as an individual or in a pair up to and
including Level 3 (Level 4 is individual). There is the
Orienteering phase or POR - Parcours de Orientation et
Regularite, the Riding Skills/Cross Country Obstacle Course
or P.T.V - Parcours en Terrain Varie and the Control of
Paces/Gaits CoP/C.G. - Matrisse des Allures
