Results from Foxhill Farm Sunday 24th May 2026
Posted on by Sue Scarrott
Results for the afternoon competition are now available .
Well done to everyone that attended the Foxhill Farm training and competition last weekend.
We had lots of positive feedback about the venue, apart form our positioning of the loos, and the sun was out in full force from early morning onwards, so unusual for a Bank Holiday weekend! There are always a few last minute withdrawals due to injuries, lost shoes etc.
We would like to thank all the wonderful volunteers, who gave up their time on a super hot Sunday, the 3 instructors Jane, Mary and Helen, and our hard working Committee for all the planning and setting up on Saturday.

Foxhill Farm – Training and Competition Sunday 24th May 2026
All information, including start times for the morning training sessions and the afternoon competition, are now available on the Calendar and Events page.
It looks as though the weather is going to be hot so please plan accordingly.
Arrival is from 8.30 am onwards , please don’t come earlier.
In accordance with Trec GB rules, all Flu Vaccination records have been checked when entries were made. However, with the recent outbreak of Equine Flu, we suggest minimising contact with other horses and, of course, check your horse’s health before setting out.
Moulton 3 – 8th March 2026
We held our final competition of the Winter Series on Sunday. It was another friendly and well run event and thanks go to the organisers and helpers on the day. Well done to everyone who entered and benifitted from being in the indoor arena. It would be nice to see a few more riders new to the sport entering the Novice and Newcomers classes.
The refreshments raised a tremendous £32.21 for The Air Amubulance.
Please find the results here.
Moulton 2 – 1st February 2026
Please find the results here.
Thank you to all competitors and helpers. It was a lovely well supported event, but unfortunately we had some last minute withdrawals due to injury and illness. We hope that all horses and humans recover soon, and that we will see you at the next event, at Moulton, in early March. The schedule and entry forms are on the website.
We raised £11.20 for the Air Ambulance from refreshments donations!
Little and Large – for those of you unfamilar with Trec, photo’s of two competitors in the ‘In Hand’ Class!

Thorpe Langton results
Posted on by Helen Martin
The sun shone (eventually) on our level 1 competition at Thorpe Langton and a lovely day was had by everyone. Thank you to all the riders for your good humour and positivity, to all our fabulous judges and helpers and especially to Mary for the idea of running a combined competition – the format was very well received so we might look to do it again.
The scores are now on the Results page. Congratulations to Jill Crawford, who found that a 4 year lay-off (and a great pairs partner in Robin Tillett) was perfect preparation for today’s competition!
Shangton Grange Competition Results
Posted on by Helen Martin
45 riders and 15 helpers gathered in south Leicestershire this weekend for the summer TREC at Shangton Grange. The sun shone, the ponies behaved (mostly), the views were pretty and the food was universally hailed as delicious so it was a roaring success! We handed out the prizes at 5:30om on Sunday and the placings and phase details are now available on Results page, so head over there to see how you and your friends did!
Louise Jarvis won the prize draw for having read her Competitors’ Information closely enough to have spotted the code (or magic, according to our stalwart tack check judge, Izzy France) word. Be warned, CTG might do something similar in future but if we do the code word might not be at the end of the information, so make sure you read the document properly… Competitors’ Information is a vital piece of the communication process between organisers and riders, so we do hope that they are always read and digested (not just glanced through to see if the directions are at the start of the end…)
Once the last bits of clearing up are done (collecting in ticket punches and checking the toilets have been collected) our attention will turn in earnest to the next event in our summer season – the English Championships at Cannock Chase in July. Entries will open on 1st June so be ready to get yours in – places are sure to go fast! Full details are available on our Calendar page. We would be delighted to hear from anyone who would be able to help or judge for all or part of one or both days, please fill in a Helper Information Form to register your availability (also available on the Calendar page). If there is demand for a session of judges’ training we will look to run one, please email central@trecgroup.co.uk to register your interest.
Cannock Chase English Championships Results – 22-23 July 2023
Posted on by Siobhan
We had a fabulous weekend (albeit a little soggy on Saturday) at our Cannock Chase competition which was also the English Championships. Jackie and Lynne did a fantastic job organising the competition and found a wonderful new venue. Thank you to them and to all the judges, volunteers and competitors; we couldn’t have done it without you!
The results are now available and pictures are available to buy from the brilliant Indie Pics here.
We received this lovely message from the venue owner, which we wanted to share with you:
“Thank you to Jackie, her team and competitors for being wonderful, low-maintenance guests as promised, for leaving the site spotless and for an interesting insight into trec and all it involves. They were a pleasure to host…you would be welcomed back.” Posted in Uncategorized

Foundation of Central Trec Group
On 10th April 2011 an intrepid band of hardy TRECcies gathered at Princethorpe in Warwickshire to do some unmounted POR training followed by an evening meal and a talk from our inaugural Chair, Anna Lea. Central TREC Group was born!
Since that day we have run over 30 summer competitions, including at least one event at Park Farm every year, and 35 arena competitions. We created the Club Challenge for the TREC GB Championships and run training and social events for our members on a range of topics and in venues ranging from pubs to village halls to tents in fields! The summer and winter leagues are hotly contested and we award Milestones to mark the achievements of our members and their horses.
We are hoping to celebrate this milestone for the club as the year progresses, so watch this space for details!
