Please help me compete for New Zealand in Ireland for the 2016 International Tetrathlon in July and in the Royal Dublin Horse Show.

Taranaki

I will be making my way to Ireland to compete in the 2016 International Tetrathlon in July.

I will join selected teams from countries including Australia, Canada, England, Wales, USA and Northern Ireland to take part in a four phase competition which includes riding, shooting, running and swimming.

The trip is self-funded and I am the only male. :)

I will arrive in Dublin on July 20 where I will stay with host families until July 23. A highlight during my stay will be the opportunity to participate in the Royal Dublin Horse Show.I will be provided with a horse for the Tetrathlon competition with the first competition on July 24 and 25. This will be over a cross country course, a maximum height of one metre.

All teams will then move to near Tattersalls in Co Meath for the Irish Pony Club International Exchange competition run in conjunction with the National Tetrathlon Championship on July 30 to August 1. The tour officially ends on August 2.

I am a keen eventer and have stepped up to the 1.05 metre class last year. I also do track work with racehorses each morning before school, which will enable me to adapt easily to different mounts during the Tetrathlon competition.

I am very motivated and work extremely hard to achieve my goals. I aspires to be like three star eventer, Fraser King.

What is a Tetrathlon?

A Tetrathlon is a sporting contest in which each participant competes in four events, typically riding, shooting, swimming, and running. A Pony Club Tetrathlon is very much like a modern Pentathlon, which you may have seen in the Olympics. It provides Members with a challenging competition requiring practical horsemanship, general athletic ability and a steady hand for shooting. Tetrathlon originated as a competition for boys however there are now competitions for girls and for different ages groups.
