Tetrathlon

Tetrathlon October 1st and 2nd at Whitchurch and Smallwood.

Three phases will be on the Saturday and then the riding on the Sunday at Smallwood.

It is being run as a Tetrathlon but there will be Triathlon classes as well!   I would think there will be a 3ft Cross Country course for Juniors, 2ft 6 for Mini’s (or drop down course for Juniors) and a small Cross Country course over a shorter distance and a 1ft 6inch Show Jumping round. So classes for all.
