Tri-Equithon Team Horse Trials
Have you always wanted to compete in a Horse Trail but could not complete one or more phases?
We established the Triequithon Team Trials for teams of 2 or 3 riders to complete 3 phases as a group in our three-phase events. Effective teamwork can assist in maximizing your abilities for the best possible score.
How to Compete
- Assemble your dream team of the best horse and rider combinations for each phase.
- Select your Team’s Division/level. This could be 2–3 people & 2–3 horses in whatever combination works for your team. Take full advantage of your combined talents to achieve your best score in each phase.
- You will be registered and recognized by your team name, so a good name is a must.
Rules
- The Triequithon is not a qualifying event for NCDCTA points.
- Team Trials will run at the end of each division, regardless of your competition level.
- You may not use your high score in the Team Trials to improve your score if you are also competing in the regular Horse Trial.
- Green as Grass can be assisted.
