## **Section C Objectives and activities**
**Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document**
TREC is an amateur equestrian sport that promotes both ridden and non ridden activities to a very wide range of people from all walks of society and all types and size of ponies/horses. The age range extends from 4 years upwards as participants can to a very large extent choose their own level of challenge. This is what makes TREC a very accessible activity/sport for everyone.

1. Training In the past year there have been 5 training events organised. These are usually very small and friendly groups of a similar level or experience. At an introductory level, either ridden or in hand, attendees learn about what is to be expected of the sport and how it is judged and marked. Anyone interested, but not able to bring an equine for some reason, is encouraged to attend as a spectator or helper.
In addition to our regular group training, we introduced individual training sessions this year. These sessions were subsidised by the club to make personalized coaching accessible to all members, especially the more advanced ones, allowing riders to focus intensively on specific skills and safety goals regardless of their financial circumstances
Training is occasionally organised with a mini competition at the end of the session, this affords participants a very easy and relaxed introduction into the sport and helps put the training and guidance on rules and time restrictions into context.
2. Competitive Events **Summary of the main activities** In the Summer 2025, a two day event was organised at Well Vale Country **undertaken for the public benefit** ride. The competition had 7 Classes and included 3 different Levels, each level **in relation to these objects** to be ridden as an individual or a pair. Length of routes ranges from 5 Km up to **(include within this section the** a 20km route at Level 2. **statutory declaration that** The weekend also included a starter class to encourage riders who enjoyed **trustees have had regard to the** Winter TREC, but who had not had the confidence to enter a competition with **guidance issued by the Charity** the map reading element. **Commission on public benefit)** The event was successful and very well received by competitors who travelled from around the country to attend as well as attracting many new and local competitors.
This year an additional competition was held in conjunction with another TREC club to enable us to foster collaborative club networks and further advance local equestrian sport by developing advanced riding, navigation, and horsemanship skills within the wider regional community. Although this competition did not include a starter class, it did cater for beginners to the sport as well as classes for the higher-level riders, allowing us to cater effectively to intermediate and advanced competitors who require more technical, specialized tracks to maintain their sporting development and progress safely under competitive conditions. Four, monthly, Winter competitions held 2022/23 at Lincolnshire Rural Activities Centre (LRAC); a Registered Charity itself, have been very well attended with many new participants to the sport. Each Winter competition has 10 classes, ranging in level, some being a Starter level/in hand and others Affiliated with the TREC GB Winter League Table. Trec Lincolnshire committee and trustees have taken the commission’s public benefit guidance into account when making any decision it is relevant to

The charity is dependent on, and thoroughly appreciative of, all the volunteers who help throughout the year. Without the hard work of the committee there would be no events organised and volunteers at events, rather than paid stewards, keep entry fees low to ensure that everyone that wants to can join in.
You **may choose** to include further statements, where relevant, about:
- policy on grantmaking;
- policy programme related investment;
- contribution made by volunteers.
