Tetrathlon

Tetrathlon

Tetrathlon is a four-phase event (riding, running, swimming, and shooting) developed by Pony Club in Great Britain and is one of the disciplines contested at the biennial Pony Club Australia National Championships.

It aims to provide participants with a challenging competition requiring sound practical horsemanship and general athletic ability. Thus, all-rounders should be encouraged to further their interest in riding and Pony Club, by combining riding with other activities.

In each phase competitors score points according to the standard of their performance. The points achieved for each phase are added together and the winner is the competitor with the highest score at the end of the event.

Equathon  is a three phase version: Running, Riding and Swimming. It is the perfect introduction to Tetrathlon, for riders aged under 10 years, who cannot yet shoot.  Equathon competitors swim 50m, run 1000m and ride.

There are international opportunities to represent Pony Club Australia in Tetrathlon, along with pathways into other international sports.
