Rallies

We offer regular Tetrathlon training and a variety of rallies for all levels throughout the year. The types offered include:

  • Introduction to Tetrathlon rallies – a great place to find out more and dip your toe in. Suitable for all and no experience is necessary at all.
  • Shooting training – regular weekly training for all squad members (pistols can be borrowed)
  • Running training – regular running training, sometimes combined with shooting training sessions
  • Swimming training –
  • Cross-country riding training – the cross country course in tetrathlon is a rider course so we sometimes run specialised sessions teaching the art of gates, skinnies, angled fences and riding the correct line among other skills. General cross-country training is combined with eventing training.

All upcoming dates and details for rallies are published on Entrymaster and can be found on the Calendar page. To be notified of all squad training sessions and events, contact Rachel
