Tetrathlon Update

Tetrathletes outings!

The Easter holiday has a been a busy one for E&S Tetrathletes, and in keeping with the spring, the ponies have been taking part as well!!!

Newmarket and Thurlow hosted the first Tet of the year with some great results and experiences for the new season.

Boys Tri saw Alfie win with Best swim, Matthew 3rd , Harry 4th and Zac 5th.  Alfie and Matthew completed the Ride phase, Matthew with a clear round and winning the section, and Alfie came 2nd.

Junior Girls continue to be a very competitive section, Grace 4th, Jemma 6th and Emilia 12th in the Tri section with Grace’s clear round and Jemma’s Ride scores, placed them 3rd and 12th respectively.

Mini Girls – Tatiana won the shoot, winning the Tri and Tet.

Tadpole Boys – Sonny continued to forge his winning ways (Tri and Tet) with Best Swim and clear round, Charlie with a clear round placing 6th (Tet and Tri).

Tallulah taking 6th place in the Tri and Tet, determined to ride by herself in the cross country.

Teams saw the Juniors win, and the Tadpoles came 3rd.  Many E&S members also took part in the N&T hunter trial.

Easton Harriers hosted their Tri phases at Framlingham College.  More fantastic results:

Senior Boys: Fergus 3rd, Best Shoot.

Senior Girls: Tilly  4th, Best Shoot.

Junior Boys: Alfie 1st (Best shoot, best swim, best run), Matthew 2nd, Harry 4th, Zac 5th.

Junior Girls: Grace 2nd overall – in fact, 2nd at everything, Jemma 6th with Best Swim.

Mini Girls: Tatiana 2nd and Martha 8th

Results following the ride; Fergus 2nd, Tilly 2nd, Matthew 1st, Alfie 2nd, Zac 3rd, Harry 4th, Grace 3rd, Jemma 3rd, Tatiana 1st, Martha 2nd, Tallulah 1st, Sonny 1st, Charlie 2nd.

Suffice it to say, the Ride phase was over big and technical courses, with our members dealing with various challenges ranging from riding new ponies, building on previous experiences, lack of brakes, nearly jumping the wrong course, seeing a serious fall over last and being held over an hour.  Overall you were totally brilliant with decisions made, and you were totally awesome!

Many thanks to Anita Steel for her continuing support of our Tetrahletes and for the write up!
