TRI EQUESTRIAN LEINSTER TREC 3-PHASE EVENT

TRI EQUESTRIAN LEINSTER TREC 3-PHASE EVENT, PUNCHESTOWN RACECOURSE, SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12TH

Many hands make light work, or in the case of Leinster TREC, many hands worked hard to ensure the success of the group’s three phase competition held on the 8th of October. The TRI Equestrian sponsored event also served as the final event in the TRI Equestrian sponsored PTV/CoP League. With almost 50 riders participating in the competition, it was a busy day for all involved.

The PTV gave plenty of opportunity to open the horses up with a good canter between obstacles. Ailbhe Gavin and Tara Creighton prepared a fair yet challenging course making good use of the natural terrain as well as the cross country facilitates in Punchestown. Traceur’s for the event, Niamh O’Huid and Sheila Fuller prepared a varied POR route with stubble fields, winding tracks,, secluded tree-lined pathways, open pasture land and the type of grassy lanes that leave you itching to kick on in canter.

Overall placings are listed below. A range of spot prizes were also presented; Best Co-ordinated Horse and Rider: Lorna O'Neill, Best PTV Score (134 points): Sophie Robinson, Best CoP Score (47 points): Louise Parkhill, Best Newcomer: Jasmine Mortimer, Furthest Travelled: (Jane Capener) and

Best Under 18: Sophie Robinson

Sincere thanks must go to all who made this event the success it was, to riders who travelled to represent TREC groups from as far afield as Kerry, South East, West Cork, Midlands, Donegal, Northern Ireland as well as the hosts, Leinster TREC. To the volunteers who travelled to support the event, also to Technical Delegate; Adrian Flynn. Thank you also to the generous landowners without whom routes would not be possible, to Punchestown Racecourse, for first class facilities and generous sponsorship of spot prizes, to TRI Equestrian for their ongoing generosity in sponsoring both the competition and the league. Finally, sincere thanks to the Leinster TREC committee who dedicated themselves to many months of planning for the event; congratulations on a job well done.
