She does, doesn't she... damn her - just kidding lol!!

[hannah6453]

cool guys looks like you had fun =] keep it up ae.. and remember to keep though toes pointed tehe =]

[SophieOstler]

Thanks!

With the excitement of the day I'm afraid our style did go out the window! We must remember to keep pointing our toes!! I think I'm the worst for it, I'm been a "heels down" horse rider all my life and it's hard to break the habit, my poor toes don't know how to point yet ;-)...

the horse is meant to walk or canter

[SophieOstler]

We are aware that competitive vaulting is performed at canter and beginners perform in walk (although, in the USA they perform at Trot). We are all beginners, incl our horse Susie - therefore we decided for this fun display we would perform at trot.You will see later in the video that we did our freestyle at walk.

We had a great time doing it, which is the important thing!

In September we will be competing pre-novice in canter, and doing our freestlye at walk - I will of course put the vid here!

for the first public event it was okay, not very good but okay.

you have to stretch your legs and maybe you use some better outfits like boddies/suits with them you can hold each other better, it lookes much better!

theres one thing i have to say: if you want to do good vaulting, you cant do the figures in trot. its absolutely wrong. ->gallop or slow walk

[ayutenshi2]

This is fabulous. I would love to learn how to do this, but... I'm not near confident enough, I don't think. I love horses, but I have balance issues when I'm on them. lol

[FreyaMadsen]

STRETCH your legs! and land more softly

you need a lot more Elasticity, and in your uplift, you must have your legs alot higher up! , but keep working on it :) good luck. This is not ment negative, just as constructive criticism :)

Loved it!! I'm trying to get a team started in South Carolina, USA. You're way better than we are and an inspiration. We can't even do near that much with our horse yet--in fact, not sure our horse is going to work out.
