Sports Activities

Tetrathlon

Tetrathlon is a unique competition exclusive to Pony Club®, encompassing four distinct disciplines: showjumping, running, shooting, and swimming.

Similar to the Olympic pentathlon but with one less event, Tetrathlon serves as a primary feeder into the sport of Modern Pentathlon.

Participants compete within designated age groups, with final rankings determined by combined scores across all four disciplines. Shooting involves the use of air pistols and precision target shooting, while the running segment challenges participants with a cross-country course rather than a sprint. The swimming portion measures distance covered within a specified time frame.

What Opportunities Do I Have?

Tetrathlon offers Pony Club® members the opportunity to showcase their multi-disciplinary skills at various competitive levels.

Participants can aspire to represent their Pony Club® at State, National, and even International competitions. It provides a platform for both boys and girls to engage in a challenging yet rewarding athletic pursuit, fostering camaraderie and sportsmanship within the Pony Club® community.
