\n

If you\u2019re a sporty rider who loves a variety of challenges, you\u2019ve found your perfect match. These sports are unique to the Pony Club and are based on the Olympic Modern Pentathlon!\u200b<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

What is a Triathlon?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

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\u2019s 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\u2019s a fantastic way to bond with your teammates and stay “Pony Club fit” even when you aren’t in the saddle!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

What is a Tetrathlon?<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

A Tetrathlon takes things to the next level by adding a fourth, thrilling phase: Cross-Country riding! In a Tetrathlon, you\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

Classes for everyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n

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!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
