Tetrathlon International Exchange
The Tetrathlon International in 2024 will be shared with the UK Pony Club and Republic of Ireland. Competitors will be invited from the United States of America, Australia, New Zealand, the Republic of Ireland and the United Kingdom (including Northern Ireland). The Pony Club Exchange will start at the Irish Tetrathlon Championships the last weekend in July. It will then move North to the Senior International Tetrathlon at Necarne, before coming to England for the Tetrathlon Championships at Offchurch Bury. As joint hosts, the UK will have two teams of boys and two teams of girls, all with five members in each team.
Places for these teams will be decided following the Training weekend and Selection Trial in February 2024 at the University of Bath. (Exact dates to follow) Places on the Training weekend will be by invitation, following the Championships in August 2023.
