Got tasked to work as the Medic for the 2011 National Vaulting Championships here in Denver at the National Western Stockshow's event arena.
I had first thought that Vaulting was, Riders and Horses jumping over fences, barrels and such, but come to find out, it's gymnastics on the back of a trotting/running horse. :eek:
Some of these kids, okay ... who am I kidding ... MOST of these kids are tiny compared to these horses, seeing that they use Draft Horses to preform on.
Anyone else ever hear of, or compete (or your kids) in this sport ???
