<\/h3>\n

Tetrathlon is a great all-round Pony Club discipline which requires accuracy, stamina and horsemanship. You can compete as part of a team or an individual starting from as young as 3 years old and parents can even take part in some competitions!<\/p>\n

There are 4 phases to the sport; shooting (under 8\u2019s throw bean bags), swimming, riding and running. The scores of a competitor in each of the four phases are added together to give an overall score. This means that each phase has an equal influence on the final result, although the riding scores are weighted to make this the most important element \u2013 this is the Pony club after all! \u00a0Most competitions have a triathlon option, which is very popular with those not wanting or able to do the Ride phase.<\/p>\n

The following will give you and idea of what\u2019s involved for each age group. Each phase is run separately so you have plenty of time to get your breath back between events!<\/p>\n
