The Craven have a thriving Tetrathlon team. It\u2019s a lot of fun and you don\u2019t have to be a brilliant athlete to take part in this very enjoyable Pony Club event.\u00a0There is always a great atmosphere and support network at competitions within our own club and also with other branches. If you have any queries at all please do get in touch <\/strong>craven@pcuk.org<\/strong><\/a> Below is an overview of what the sport involves.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Tetrathlon<\/strong>: consists of shooting, swimming, running and riding usually over a cross country course which include a slip rail and gate. Occasionally during the spring and autumn months the ride phase is over an arena eventing course. Competitions are normally run from April to October, and sometimes over two days.<\/p>\n

Triathlon<\/strong>: consists of shooting, running and swimming, normally run during the winter months.<\/p>\n

There are 5 age categories. Ages are taken on the 1st<\/sup> January in the current calendar year<\/p>\n

Beanies \u2013 For members aged 7 and under (No shooting \u2013 instead beanbags are thrown at a target)<\/p>\n

Tadpoles: For members aged 9 and under<\/p>\n

Phases<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shooting<\/strong><\/p>\n

We use air pistols and shoot at a standard pony club target. At competitions you have 5 practice shots followed by 10 competition shots with a maximum score of1000 points. \u00a0Competitors must have attended training and be signed off as competent by our instructor before competing. Training takes place on a Tuesday evening throughout the year.\u00a0 You don\u2019t need your own gun. Craven have several pistols that are used by members. You have to be 8 years old to shoot in competitions.<\/p>\n

Tadpole: two hands, 7m from the target (static \u2013 the target does not move)<\/p>\n

Minimus: two hands, 7m from the target \u00a0(turning – 4 seconds for each shot)<\/p>\n

Juniors : single handed, 7m from target (turning – 4 seconds for each shot)<\/p>\n

Senior : Single handed, 10m from target (turning – 4 secondss per shot)<\/p>\n

Swimming<\/strong><\/p>\n

The object is to swim as far as possible in the time allowed.\u00a0 Competitors can use any stroke.<\/p>\n

New diving rules have been brought in at some venues and members require certification to prove they have been assessed as competent to dive.<\/p>\n

Riding<\/strong><\/p>\n

The riding is over a flagged cross-country course, similar to a hunter trial but including a gate, which has to be opened and closed while mounted, and a slip rail which must be negotiated by dismounting. Minimus classes and below are not timed, but for Juniors and above there is an optimum time. If this is exceeded then time penalties will be given. The gate and slip rail obstacles each have a maximum time allowed in all classes. A clear round will gain a maximum 1400 points.<\/p>\n
