TREC is hitting mainstream equestrian media with a bang this month, being represented twice in the annual Horse & Hound Equestrian Awards

Our very own Chairperson, Christine Paine, has been nominated for Volunteer of the Year and TREC newbie Amy George is a finalist in the Amateur Rider of the Year Award.

TREC really is the most wonderful, friendly and supportive of all the equestrian disciplines and this is our chance to showcase our sport to a wider audience. The awards are all decided on a public vote so please click on the link below and cast a vote for Chris and Amy

Once you have voted, please consider sharing the posts we will be publishing over the coming week and encourage all of your friends and family to get behind our sport! 

A win for either Chris or Amy will be invaluable when trying to attract new sponsors and support for TREC, and we are just so excited to be supporting them both in their campaign for votes!
