The Ultimate Multi-Sport Challenge: Triathlon & Tetrathlon

​​

If you’re a sporty rider who loves a variety of challenges, you’ve found your perfect match. These sports are unique to the Pony Club and are based on the Olympic Modern Pentathlon!​

What is a Triathlon?

A Triathlon is the perfect way to stay active and compete, especially during the winter months! In a Pony Club Triathlon, you compete in three phases: air-pistol shooting, swimming, and running. It’s all about being a great all-rounder and trying to beat your own personal best score. Because there is no riding phase involved in a Triathlon, it’s a fantastic way to bond with your teammates and stay “Pony Club fit” even when you aren’t in the saddle!

What is a Tetrathlon?

A Tetrathlon takes things to the next level by adding a fourth, thrilling phase: Cross-Country riding! In a Tetrathlon, you’ll showcase your skills across shooting, swimming, running, and riding. The riding phase is designed to test bravery and control over a course of natural-style fences. Points are awarded for your performance in every phase, and the person with the highest total at the end is crowned the winner.

Classes for everyone.

We make sure the challenge is just right for your age group. As you get older, the distances get longer and the targets get smaller!
