Come and have a go at Trec.This will be an ideal first-timers competition at Level 1. It is at Frickley Hall Estate, near Hooton Pagnall and is an affiliated competition being organized through BHS. To take part you don’t need fancy clothing or tack, just a sound horse/pony with comfortable tack. As it is a one day competition everyone will do the PTV (obstacles) and CoG (slow canter and fast walk) first in the morning and then at a set time riders will copy a map before setting off on their route of approx 10km. All competitors will do the obstacles and control of paces individually, but you can be competing as a pair so you do the fairly simple orienteering together. To get more information look up the schedule on the BHS website https://www.bhs.org.uk/sitecore/content/mss_content/Websites/MainSite/Riding/BHS_TREC/Competition_Dates/League_Dates.aspx and click on Wink Lodge.

Remember the aim of the day is to have fun with your horse!

Numbers are strictly limited to 24 riders and their horses. Applications are purely on a first come basis and MUST be

accompanied by a £50 deposit to be returned by no later than 30th April 2011 for riders.

Applicants are advised that the booking deposit is NON REFUNDABLE unless their place can be filled well in

advance of the event, should they cancel. To avoid any difficulty, applicants are advised to consider taking holiday

cancellation insurance for the event.

Applicants are responsible for their own safety at camp. All riders are responsible for the welfare of their own horse

or pony. Horses will be allocated a stable and access to a paddock. Straw bedding and hay are included though

shavings and hayledge can be taken. Equipment may be required for mucking out, so it’s worth combining with

others nearer the time if short of space for travelling. Riders are responsible for ensuring that stables are kept clear of

droppings during the week and on leaving at the end of camp.

The week will consist of two riding sessions with tuition on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Each instructor will

have a group of riders for which they are responsible.

Accommodation for your stay will be what you want. Those with horseboxes are lucky, those with tents will pray

that the weather is kind to us, although some dormitories will be available if requested. There are showers available.

Please note, the camp IS NOT designed to teach people to ride but will cater for different abilities. Please be as

honest as possible on your application form about your horse and your riding ability. Work covered should cater for

all who attend. If you want any further information please ring Sheila on 07780904857

This is the seventh camp and it can only continue to be a success by people attending making it a success. You will

not be forced into anything, only encouraged to take part. The camp is meant to be instructive but most of all

FUN.

PLEASE NOTE: BOOKINGS WILL ONLY BE TAKEN FROM FULLY PAID UP MEMBERS OF

ACKWORTH RIDING CLUB
