This year we have two teams competing at the Minimus championships in Punchestown on the 17th and 18th of June. Minimus is a 2-day competition consisting of three disciplines, swimming, running and riding. Points are awarded to competitors for their performance in each discipline. The overall winner is the competitor with the most points after all three disciplines. Participants must be U-12 on the 1st of January of the current year. However, new older Pony Club members may participate Hors Concours to gain valuable competition experience. Irish Pony Club D+ test standard is recommended for this competition.
The Minimus Championships are a team competition where members from branches form a team of three/four for the competition. Individual trophies are awarded to boys and girls for the best overall winners and the best in the disciplines of running and swimming.
Here are our two teams at a warm up competition in Stradbally on Sunday 28th May.
Best of luck to Eoin Cloke, Kate O’Brien, Cormac Byrne, Emma Warren, Ava Dowley, Rose O’Connor and Hannah Willis.
At 8pm tonight (Monday 29th May) we will have a Pony club shop open in Barnadown clubhouse. Some of the old stock will be on sale and it will be an opportunity for members to order or buy other pony club gear.
Anyone new to pony club or interested in joining, please come along and we will be very happy to inform you about all pony club activities and our summer camp in Barnadown.
Best wishes to Matt Sinnott who is heading off to the Royal Bath and West show today. He and his team mates will be playing on a mounted games team representing the Irish Pony Club this week. Have a great time!
Best of luck to Daragh Montague & James Cullen and their team mates who are participating in Scotland mounted games competition representing The Irish Pony Club this weekend and also to Jamie Kinsella playing with a junior team .Enjoy and have fun .
