MINIMUS - 2017


CHPC Teams for Minimus 2017


Important notes for parents of children planning to compete at Minimus
This is an U12 competition (under 12 on 1st January 2017). However, kids over-age can also compete H/C (out of competition) at minimus to have fun and or prepare them for moving on to tetrathlon.  
Children need to train for the minimus championships starting in the Spring and the DC’s must sign off children as capable of getting around an 80cm technical cross country course before they can be considered for team selection. Children should try and do as many hunter trials and fun minimus competitions also as this will help them prepare for the team selection trials and the championships themselves.
​
Team Trials
Riding – Trials for cross country will be in middle of May. Date to be confirmed (TENTATIVE 20th May). Competition is run based on strict IPC minimus competition rules. In particular – parents CANNOT assist children on course.
Running – Trial is provisionally planned for Friday 5th and 26th May
Swimming – Trial is provisionally planned for Friday 5th and 26th May
If participants do both running and swim trials, their highest combined swim and run score (either the 5th or 26th) will be used towards team selection.

Injured pony – The IPC allow a participant entered for the National Minimus Championship to change ponies on production of a vet certificate.  If a CHPC member’s pony gets injured after the team trials, they can seek to find another suitable pony but they will move down to the final team and as a consequence all team members move up.
