TREC, short for the French Techniques de Randonnée Équestre de Compétition is an equestrian discipline designed to test horse and rider. With origins in France, the sport has spread through Europe, and was introduced to the UK by the British Horse Society (BHS) in 1998. The sport is now known as British TREC and is run by (TREC GB ). TREC competitions consist of three separate events - mounted orienteering, a demonstration of control of the horse's paces and an obstacle course - all completed over the course of one or two days, and points scored, with the highest scoring being declared the event winner. ==Phase One: Parcours d'Orientation et de Régularité (POR)== The first phase consists of mounted orienteering where riders copy a route from a marked map onto their own map, and follow this route at a speed determined by the organisers. The length of the route varies according to the level of the competition, ranging from 10 km at beginner levels up to 45 km at championship levels. There are checkpoints along the route, which are not marked on the map, these are designed to ensure that the route is ridden at the correct speed and that horses have sufficient rest along the route. There are also un-manned ticket points on the route where the rider must stamp their own record card before proceeding. A number of items of essential kit must be carried or worn: * Hard hat (to the current standard as listed in the Rulebook) * Rider's ID * High-viz clothing * Compass * Map-marking pens * Torch * Headcollar and leadrope * Waterproofs * Basic first aid kit * Tag attached to the saddle (with competitor number and organiser's telephone number on in case horse and rider become separated) * Whistle * Emergency farrier's tools and hoof-boot (compulsory for level three and above only) Riders start the POR with 240 points, and the aim is to complete the phase with as many points remaining as possible. Penalties can be deducted in a number of ways including: * Missing a checkpoint (50 penalties) * Missing a ticket point (30 penalties) * Arrival at a checkpoint via an incorrect route (30 penalties) * Finding a checkpoint not on the intended route (50 penalties) * Opening the sealed map during a bearings section (30 penalties) * Variations from the optimum speed between each checkpoint (1 penalty per full minute over or under ideal time) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Techniques de Randonnée Équestre de Compétition」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
