If you are new to TREC, there are many ways to get started. Contact your local group or visit our calendar for details of upcoming events. You do not need to be a member to take part, temporary membership is available for each event.
For TREC, you can use the same tack as your horse is normally ridden in, including western and bitless. Standing martingales are not permitted however. Tack can be changed between phases. There is also some specialized equipment for TREC. The equipment list can be found in the download section.
