Tetrathlon

Tetrathlon is a fantastic way to have fun while keeping fit and building your confidence. A four-phase event, it involves running, swimming, riding (cross-country) and target shooting. Find out more here.

Please read the WKSPC team selection policy if you would like to compete on behalf of the branch.

Anyone interested in doing Tetrathlon, please contact Jane Bastable: juddwoodfarm@hotmail.co.uk or 07771 962339. After a hiatus of a few years we now have quite a few members competing at tet and we’d love to welcome more into the team!

Marcus Cook, our 2022 PC national tet champion (see below), is a wonderful inspiration to our younger members and is always willing to support and encourage them, and answer any questions about the sport.

We hold regular tet rallies and training sessions – see the bookings page for more information.

Marcus has had another excellent tet year, coming 2nd at Area to qualify him to return to PC Champs to defend his title. This time at Offchurch Bury he was part of the winning Area 11 team with the Kitchener brothers from MSPC, and was back on the podium individually in 3rd place. Huge congratulations!

2022 results

In August Marcus won the Area 11 Intermediate Boys’ Tetrathlon and then went forward to Regionals, where he took 8th place in a huge class. Not long after that he found himself at Offchurch Bury for the Pony Club Championships where he put in an outstanding performance to lead almost from the off, culminating in being crowned the PC Tetrathlon Champion! Marcus has worked tirelessly, particularly on his shooting, and he and his talented horse have a spotless record in the XC phase this year. Such a well-deserved win!

2021 activity

Marcus has done a sterling job of representing WKSPC in tet, qualifying for PC Championships in fine style. He ran, swam, rode and shot his way into 15th place in a strong field. Very well done!

2020 activity

Tet activity has been severely curtailed by COVID-19 so we’re awaiting news of competitions and training opportunities for the coming months. 
 
Here’s a photo montage of the training day back in January which was attended by several of our tetrathletes.

June – Area Tetrathlon

Great to have Mabel and Iona joined by Marcus at Area tet, and he only went and took 7th in the junior boys in his first competition! Meanwhile Iona was 8th in mini girls and Mabel 10th. Iona took the prize for best run and Mabel took home the silver award for the mini girls league table. Congratulations to all of you and we look forward to following your progress in the discipline.  Any new team members tempted to join them?!

May

Iona was unbeatable in the running section, helping her to an overall 6th place at the Eridge PC tetrathon, while Mabel took 10th. Both girls hit personal bests and should be very proud of their excellent progress in tet this year!

April

Our pair of tet participants – Mabel and Iona – had a great weekend at Bisley & Sandown Chase PC. 9th place for Iona at her debut, with a 14th place for Mable in a very strong field. Their mixed team came 4th.

March

In her first tet, Mabel braved wet and windy conditions to take 12th place in the mini girls section, also coming 5th as part of a mixed team. Well done Mabel!
