D-TREC tests - Bantry - 14 April 2024

For those who might not know what D-TREC is, it is dressage the Treccie way! Riders must negotiate a couple of obstacles whilst riding their dressage test!  A TREC judge will judge how the obstacles are completed (effectiveness etc) while the dressage judge will judge the dressage manoeuvres and also mark for style for the obstacles.

We will be travelling to Keane's Farm, Caherdaniel, Bantry, P75 VH26 for this event, for our "dressage with a difference".

The venue is just outside Bantry town (less than 5mins from Bantry town square), and has an indoor 20x40 arena. There is parking around the far side of the arena. This is a working farm, so please park with consideration.

Dressage attire is not essential, but a neat turnout is required. To download the D-TREC Rules (Appendix 9 of the current TREC Ireland Rulebook), please click here.

Entries will be taken via our page on ItsPlainSailing. We are restricting entries to one test per horse/rider combination as there are some time constraints and we would like to be able to give everyone their turn.  We will review the level of entries after the closing date and if we are able to allow a limited number of second tests we will let competitors know (second tests - if available - will cost 10 and will be marked out of competition.

2 levels of test are available (Intermediate and Novice), and we will have 3 classes (Intermediate, Novice and Under 16 Novice:
