The Foundation of the
European Tent Pegging Association

The European Tent Pegging Association (ETPA) was founded to support and promote the equestrian sport of Tent Pegging in Europe, which currently HAS GREATER PARTICIPANT FIGURES IN ARAB NATIONS, INDIA, AUSTRALIA AND SOUTH AFRICA.

The foundation was the decision of the national Tent Pegging associations of Germany, Great Britain, the Netherlands and Norway in December 2018. The official ETPA foundation ceremony took place at the General Assembly of the International Tent Pegging Federation (ITPF) on January 29th 2019 in Muscat, the capital of Oman. The objective is not only to popularise the former cavalry sport in the four member states, but also to support arising Tent Pegging groups in other European countries to set up and develop their national associations. In doing so, the ETPA enables other motivated and interested riders to partake in this great sport.
