How does the event work?
Each event will consist of a number of sections. Each section is made up from gates formed by two canes. The gates are numbered in a descending order from 12 to 1. The Rider must start from the 12 gate and then follow a defined path from gate to gate without stopping, touching any of the canes or putting their feet down. If the rider stops the rider gets penalty points which corresponds to the value of the next gate. If the rider touches a cane then the penalty value is the same as that gate number. The winner is the person who after riding all of the sections has the lowest amount of penalty points.

It is great seeing the youngesters have a go at there own trial. It is always a very popular event.
