Vaulters prepare for English championship
The vaulting team at the Cambridge campus of the College of West Anglia is getting ready for its next big challenge – taking part in the English championship.
It follows strong performances in an event at Moulton College in Northamptonshire recently.
Cambridge Vaulting Club, part of the College of West Anglia’s Horse Sport Academy attended their second-ever competition at Moulton.
Vaulting resembles gymnastics on horseback.
CWA-owned horse Sandie, which is also relatively new to the sport, behaved impeccably in an exceptionally busy environment.
The vaulters had a great afternoon with various placings.
The trio made up of Katie Mickler-Campbell, Animal Care student Alexis Kemp-Reynolds and staff member Leanne Brooks-Harley came second in their class.
The two walk pairs were placed fourth and sixth and the campus also had placings of sixth, tenth, 11th and 12th in the individual freestyle class which was an excellent result given the size of the class.
Vaulters came away inspired and ready for their next challenge, which is preparing for the English Equestrian Vaulting Championships in September.
