CanTREK Training Competition

   Sunday, October 1 - 2006   9:00 a.m.
(maximum 16 riders)
 
Place: Peachland Riding Club - 5380 Princeton Ave., Peachland (note: location address only).  Turn uphill at the lights in Peachland, onto Princeton Ave., and travel 4.7 km.  The Club is on the right, across from the Municipal Yardworks.
 
   Phase One: 5 - 8 km Speed and Orienteering ride
    Phase Two: Control of paces
    Phase Three:  Cross Country Trails with obstacles
 
Our TREK Training Competition introduces riders to the 3 phases of CanTREK.  There will be judging, scoring, and awards  to 6th place.  Help and advice will be provided in all three phases to provide riders with a learning experience.
 
CanTREK is a new competition in the province so the day will be as much a learning experience for judges, scorers, and volunteers as it will be for riders.  For this reason, entries are limited to 16 riders.  All registered riders will receive a package about the day's activities as well as a waiver form.  For everyone's safety, horses must be familiar with back country hacking and must be conditioned to do a 5 km. ride.  ASTM industry-standard helmet  and boots with a heel are mandatory.
 
To make this day a success for everyone, volunteers are essential!!  We are asking every registered rider to please bring one volunteer.  A $10 cash rebate off the entry fee will be given to the rider when the volunteer registers.  An extra $5 will be given for a second volunteer.
 
Entry fees:   Peachland Riding Club members - $55.
Non-members - $65.
