Heritage School Demo
Actually turned out to be TONS of fun!! We had them singing along to our music and shouting at whatever they liked :]
Honestly, one of our best demos! So glad we had the opportunity!
Provo Parade 2009
The parade was such a hit! I'm glad that we had the opportunity to educate over 60.000 people about our sport! All the girls had such a fun time showing off and I'm sure we'll get lots of business from the event as well. We passed out over 1,000 flyers and they were all gone before the parade was over. People kept yelling at us to get them a flyer and parents kept asking me how they could get their kids involved! It was great to see so much interest in our sport :)
Some guy even yelled out to us: 'now THATS the future of america!' which was the parade theme! It was especially fun to see all the reactions from the audience.

Vaulting Camp
Oak Hills Vaulters Summer Camp
KyLynn James Warren
Oak Hills Vaulters hosted it’s first ever Summer Vaulting Camp June 17th-20th. The Camp was attended by 30 vaulters ages six to adult with vaulters ranging in skill level from very beginning walk to Silver. Vaulters and campers had the option to spend the night at camp, or arrive each morning for a full day of fun!
Camp opened each morning with completing various horse chores, preparing ones lunch for the day, taking special notes and instructions in their own ‘camp notebook,’ stretching, and of course a lot of fun and games! Our camp was split into three different groups and teams and rotated between barrel work, horse time, and dance instruction. Compulsories were broken down into each technicality and focused on both the horse and barrel. Freestyles were added to and perfected as well as our choreographing and creativity was worked on with the little help of a few balloons!
Special ‘field trips’ and activities involved swimming, volleyball games, playing in the park, and fun night games and dance off routines! Evenings were spent enjoying each others company, roasting s’mores around the campfire, snipe hunting, and playing hide-n-go-seek throughout the stables. Special non-vaulting clinicians were brought in to emphasize the importance of horse care and barn safety.
Our last few hours of camp were filled with a ‘dance-off’ performance by each team followed by awards for the winning team. Many friendships were made and strengthened for all during the days and nights we spent with each other.
Our summer vaulting camp was the highlight of the summer for many of our vaulters. We hope to have the opportunity to make this into an annual event! A special thanks to all the parents, loungers, clinicians, and horse owners involved in making this a week we are all sure to remember.
