British
Horse Society announces new sponsorship deal
Young
TREC Riders get leg up from Ashby House
|
Ashby
House, one of the UK's leading online retailers of riding clothes
and tack (http://www.ashby-house.com), are to sponsor a new class
for Young Riders at the BHS TREC Championships this year. The Classes
at the Scottish (14-15 June), Welsh (5-6 July), English (19-20 July)
and British Championships (2-3 August) are aimed at aspiring young
TREC riders aged between 16 and 18 years, with the intention of
producing a Young Riders Team to contest the European TREC Championships
that take place in Belgium between 5 and 7 September.
As
the National Governing Body for TREC in Great Britain, the Society
is intending to take a full team of six riders aged between 16 and
18 years, and the Competitions Office is very keen to hear from
any young TREC riders who would be interested in meeting this challenge.
Ashby
House are increasing their commitment to BHS TREC this year after
supporting the senior GB Team in the 2002 World Championships at
El Rocio in Spain, where the team finished just outside the medals.
Working
in partnership with the British Horse Society, Ashby House is looking
to encourage youth development in this fast growing discipline by
increasing both training and competition opportunities for this
age group.
An initial training weekend is planned for April to help a squad
prepare for our domestic Championships. The classes for Young Riders
will be at Level 3 (orienteering up to 32kms and jumping at approximately
0.78metres). The Team for the European Championships will be selected
after the British Championships in early August.
