Tetrathlon  – Dry Tri at Tyddyn Y Gwynt, Mold

October 30^th 2025

A great day was had, although it was a bit chilly at the farm of Sian and James Davies-Cooke for the Area 5 Dry Tri (no swimming).  It was quite disrupting for Sian and James but they worked hard to accommodate us, so thank you Sian and James.

There were 50+ little people entered. The competition was aimed at the younger end of the members and beginners. The riding took place in an arena – thank you to the Flint & Denbigh Branch for the use of their show jumps.  Courses were 40cm up to 80cm. There were 4 adults who had a go which added to the entertainment!  Many of the Beanie class were on the lead which, again was entertaining to watch.  They did so well – as did the leaders!

30+ of the entries were from F&D (so well-done Tetters) but there were entries from Anglesey, Berwyn and Dee, Tanatside, North Shropshire and Waen Y Llyn.  Disappointing support from the 3 Cheshire Branches – only one Tadpole competitor.

There were 14 teams, and the team competition was won by F&D  Supremes – ( Catrin M, Megan E, Alys E and Marcus R) with a score of 10396!  Anglesey came 2^nd with 9757 and FnD Stingers ( Anni M, Peter D-C, Ellen R and Angharad D-C) were 3^rd with a 9253 score.

Jack Jones (Tanatside) won the 20 strong Beanies with a clear round score of 1400.

Alys Evans won the 16 strong Tadpole class with a clear round and top shoot of 960.  Her twin sister Megan came 2^nd with top run (3 minutes) and a clear round.

Catrin Morgan won the Mini class with a top shoot of 960 and top run.

Archie Rigg from Anglesey had the top shoot of the day with 980.

Thank you to all the Volunteers who helped run the day.  I can see this popular competition being repeated next year.
