About Us
Who are we? And what do we do?
West Cork TREC is an equestrian group which was founded in 2008. We are affiliated to TREC Ireland, the governing body of TREC in this country which was formed in 2007 by Irish riders when they returned from the European TREC Championships in Exmoor, England.
West Cork TREC members have the privilege of riding through the stunning landscapes of the Mizen and Beara peninsulas, with its variety of terrains of coastlines, boglands, mountains and valleys.
We are very fortunate to have Winfried Bastian, one of the original founders of TREC Ireland, as our trainer and mentor. Within our group we have national and international officials who organise and run each event. Our members and volunteers are always willing to provide the help needed to make things run smoothly.
We organise events throughout the year, a winter and a summer league, our mid-summer competition, training and social events. We travel to competitions held by TREC Ireland or other TREC groups. Our members can also purchase our lovely polo shirts and jackets with the West Cork TREC logos, and a group can create a striking sea of navy and pink, easy to spot at the national events.
Every level of horse and rider are welcome, so please, come along and join us. It’s hugely rewarding, wonderfully encouraging and, above all, great fun!
