⭐⭐Awards Night - Saturday 18th January 2025⭐⭐
Saturday night was yet another successful evening celebrating all things TREC. A delicious dinner was followed by a welcome speech from our Chair, Polly Lloyd Owen.
Our TREC horses and ponies were deservedly first in the running order for the presentation of the awards and we celebrated their kilometre achievements with the Hoofbeats Awards. A first this year was the presentation of the Palladium Award which was awarded to Rosie (owned and ridden by Liz Beddows) and Carive the Moon and the Stars (owned and ridden by Alex & Liane Robinson) who both covered 1250k in TREC competitions.
The Summer League rosettes and prizes were then presented to the top 10 in each league. Congratulations to all for their successful achievements in 2024 and we look forward to seeing you out and about again in 2025. Congratulations must go to Kate Gillam, winner of the Level 4 Summer League, who competed on borrowed horses for the season, a fantastic achievement!
