Tent Pegging pegs are small wooden targets used in the sport of Tent Pegging. They are typically cylindrical in shape and are placed in the ground or suspended from stands as targets for riders to strike with their lances or swords.
Tent Pegging pegs are usually made of wood, often hardwood, to withstand the impact of the lance or sword. They are designed to be stable and secure in the ground to ensure they remain upright during the fast-paced action of Tent Pegging.
The size and dimensions of Tent Pegging pegs can vary, but they are typically around 30 centimeters (12 inches) in length and have a diameter of approximately 2 to 3 centimeters (0.8 to 1.2 inches). The pegs are set at specific distances apart, creating a challenge for riders to accurately strike them while riding at high speeds.
In Tent Pegging events, riders aim to strike the pegs with their lances or swords, attempting to dislodge them from the ground or knock them off their stands. The number of successful strikes or the time taken to complete the task can determine a rider’s score or ranking in the competition.
It’s worth noting that the specific design and material of Tent Pegging pegs may vary depending on regional traditions, competition rules, and the preferences of event organizers.
