How do I take part?
The competition is open to all. Complete the entry form and return with your cheque before the closing date or enter online using the quick link on the Wittering Academy RC website.

(Current BHS/Affiliated Riding Club members are insured through the BHS.)

What do we wear?
Safe and comfortable riding gear (there is no requirement for show jackets or plaiting up the horse), and your horse or pony’s usual tack will be fine. Please read the rules

Prize Information

How are the placings decided?
The winner of each class will be the rider or pair with the highest combined score from the PTV and the Walk/Canter phases. In the event of equality, the highest score from the PTV will take precedence. Rosettes will be presented up to 6th place in each class.

Special Classes

The Wittering Academy Riding Club Members only league. Cancellations during the winter league due to the equine flu outbreak and bad weather meant we were unable to complete the league placings. Therefore the results of this competition will be added to the two previous arena trec competitions held over the winter in order to determine the league winners for 2018/2019.

Withdrawals/Refunds

Refunds for withdrawals after the closing date will be entirely at the discretion of the organisers.

Rules as per the current TREC GB Rulebook (now available on the TREC GB website), and general rules detailed below and elsewhere in this schedule. 1.

Riders any age, juniors may ride horses and seniors may ride ponies. 3. No rider will be permitted to start any phase of the competition unless wearing a hard hat, which meets a standard currently recommended by the BHS and BRC. Please note, the EN1384 and BSEN 1384 have been removed from the approved list. Riders are advised not to purchase hats that comply with this standard only. Further details available at http://www.bhs.org.uk/~/media/bhs/files/pdf-documenys/brc/2016-brc-hat-tagging-guide-for-competitors.ashx?la=en( 4. As there are no fixed obstacles, the wearing of body protectors is not compulsory. 5. Riders must wear suitable riding footwear. 6. Standing Martingales and other fixed reins are forbidden unless agreed by the organisers (e.g. in the case of ‘grass reins’ for small ponies).. If a running martingale is used, the horse must be led from a headcollar and leadrope for led PTV obstacles. 7. Whips must not exceed 75cms except in the In-hand class. Spurs, if worn, must be rounded and not exceed 3.5cms in length and pointed downwards. 8. The decisions of the official and the Judges are final and must be complied with at all times. Competitors may be eliminated from the competition for any of the following reasons: • Excessive use of the whip • Abusive language • Dangerous riding • Uncorrected error of course on PTV (including not telling a judge you are leaving out an obstacle.)
