As part of her training, Jodie the Shire Horse is introduced to the sport of TREC. In this episode she attempts the FIGURE OF EIGHT obstacle in the PTV phase. This is the fourth obstacle in the continuing series of horse agility training.  

Each week Jodie will have a go at one TREC obstacle with the goal of competing at TREC level 1, sometime in 2021 (Covid allowing, of course). I think this is a fantastic sport, benefiting both horse and rider in many different ways, least of all the bond created during training and competition. TREC is a fun sport worthy of promotion so please share these videos to raise awareness of the fun and adventure open to all. Jodie and I are based in Staffordshire and would love to see more Shire Horses and other Heavy Horses get involved in this sport. If you have a Heavy and already take part then please leave a comment, we would be very interested in hearing about your TREC experiences. If you are new to TREC (as we are) perhaps you would like to follow our progress and maybe learning from our mistakes. Or, if you are an 'Old Hand' at TREC and could offer some much needed advice, tips and tricks, then that would be very much appreciated. Either way, please would you subscribe (and click the notification bell) so you won't miss any of our antics. With all horse training there needs to be a clear goal/target to aim for. Our goal for this year is to be at a level to have a go at TREC. Skills, both ridden & in-hand, horsemanship, communication, navigation, planning and leadership will be tested in this fun competition. Videos in the series will include obstacle training, ridden and in-hand elements, TREC information and other interesting and fun facts regarding this fun sport. I hope to see you in the next videos. Thank you for watching.
