D-TREC - 16-Nov-25 - Bantry - league leg 7

We will be holding a D-TREC event (WCT league leg 7) on 16th November 2025 at Bantry Bay Pony Trekking (P75 H019).

D-TREC is a combination of dressage and TREC disciplines. In D-TREC, obstacles are incorporated within a dressage test, which will be judged by two judges. A dressage judge will judge the dressage movements of the test including the style at the TREC obstacles. They will be looking for balance, rhythm, obedience, and effectiveness of rider aids. A TREC judge will mark faults and penalties at the TREC obstacles (each obstacle will be marked out of 7 marks).

Two levels of test are available for this event (Open and Novice), and we will be running 3 classes: Open, Novice and Under 16 Novice:
