The Phases
Ride-The Ride phase of competition
provides an opportunity for the rider and mount to demonstrate
equestrian skills over a predefined course. Courses are designed as
Stadium, Cross Country, or a combination, where the course incorporates
Stadium fixtures as well as natural terrain.
Run-The Run phase of competition
challenges each competitor's physical stamina and endurance. The course
is designed over cross country terrain and may include obstacles that
must be negotiated, such as hay bales, logs, low event fences, etc.
Shoot-The shoot phase of competition
tests a competitor's skill, in a standing position, using an air pistol
on a 10 meter course. Any type of compressed air or CO2 pistol is
permitted which does not exceed the specifications outlined in the
Tetrathlon Rule Book.
Swim-The swim phase of competition allows competitors to
demonstrate their swimming skills over a pre-defined course length,
measured in either meters or yards.
