Let
$ (h_t)_{t\in {\mathbb{R}}} $
 be the horocycle flow acting on
$ (M,\mu) = (\Gamma \backslash \operatorname{SL}(2,{\mathbb{R}}), \mu) $
, where
$ \Gamma $
 is a co-compact lattice in
$ \operatorname{SL}(2,{\mathbb{R}}) $
 and
$ \mu $
 is the homogeneous probability measure locally given by the Haar measure on
$ \operatorname{SL}(2,{\mathbb{R}}) $
. Let
$ \tau\in W^6(M) $
 be a strictly positive function and let
$ \mu^{\tau} $
 be the measure equivalent to
$ \mu $
 with density
$ \tau $
. We consider the time changed flow
$ (h_t^\tau)_{t\in {\mathbb{R}}} $
 and we show that there exists
$ \gamma = \gamma(M,\tau)>0 $
 and a constant
$ C>0 $
 such that for any
$ f_0, f_1, f_2\in W^6(M) $
 and for all
$ 0 = t_0<t_1<t_2 $
, we have
$ \left|\int_M \prod\limits_{i = 0}^{2} f_i\circ h^\tau_{t_i} {\rm{d}} \mu^\tau -\prod\limits_{i = 0}^{2}\int_M f_i {\rm{d}} \mu^\tau \right|\leq C \left(\prod\limits_{i = 0}^{2} \|f_i\|_6\right) \left(\min\limits_{0\leq i<j\leq 2} |t_i-t_j|\right)^{-\gamma}. $
With the same techniques, we establish polynomial mixing of all orders under the additional assumption of
$ \tau $
 being fully supported on the discrete series.
Keywords: Smooth time-changes, horocycle flow, multiple mixing, polynomial mixing, shearing.
