The Triathlon competitions form a good grounding and practice period before the Tetrathlons start later in the year. If you enjoy other disciplines  – shooting, running and swimming along with cross country on your horse, then this is a tremendous way to stay fit for your riding, compete with a team and have a good day out at a lovely venue. We are looking for more pony club members to take part. You don’t have to be good at all the events just enjoy taking part and trying your best.
