MEGAN BENJAMIN #6 (WORLD CHAMPION 2006) VAULTING - DEMO - 1999 (GYMNASTICS ON HORSEBACK) - VOB

I WISH THEY WOULD MAKE THIS AN OLYMPIC SPORT !!!

THOUGHT I'D SHARE WITH YOU A SPECTACULAR SPORT THAT NOT MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT - "VAULTING"

THE OBJECT OF THE GAME IS TO TRY AND DO ARTISTIC TRICKS AND GYMNASTICS TO THE MUSIC WHILE ON THE BACK OF A RUNNING HORSE AND NOT FALL OFF AND GET STEPPED ON BY A 2000 POUND DRAFT HORSE - LOOKS LIKE FUN TO ME !!!

UPDATE 8-20-11 - SOMEONE INFORMED ME YESTERDAY, THAT I HAD A WORLD CHAMPION (FROM THE 2006 WORLD EQUESTRIAN GAMES) IN MY VIDEO HERE, FROM 1999, (#6 ON THE UNIFORMS), AND I HAD NO IDEA WHO SHE WAS, AND THAT SHE WAS THE WORLD CHAMPION FROM 2006 - (SO I RETITLED THE VIDEO WHEN I GOT MORE INFO) - SHE WAS THE FIRST NON-GERMAN WOMAN (AMERICAN) TO WIN, AND SHE ALSO GOT THE SILVER MEDAL IN TEAM - THE LINK BELOW IS TO AN AWESOME VIDEO WHERE I FOUND OUT MORE INFO ON HER AND "VAULTING" AND THE 2006 WORLD EQUESTRIAN GAMES - IT IS A REALLY PROFESSIONAL, AWESOME VIDEO WITH INTERVIEWS AND DEMOS - YOU MUST CHECK IT OUT.
