Fassifern Vaulters Success at Qld State Vaulting Championships

Members of the Fassifern Vaulting Group participated in the 2016 State Vaulting Championships last weekend. The Championships were held at Tallebudgera Pony club grounds, on the Gold Coast, with clubs from both Queensland and Northern NSW taking part. The Fassifern vaulting group had 8 vaulters and two horses competing at the Championships and achieved some outstanding results. Lucy Betts was awarded the State Champion Individual Vaulter and teamed up with her sister Anna Betts to be awarded the State Champion Pas De Deux (Pair of vaulters). Edelweiss Pierre was awarded the State Champion Vaulting Horse, having achieved the Highest Horse Score at the event. Melanie Fedrick was awarded the State Champion Lunger Award for her work with Edelweiss Pierre.

Other results achieved were:

Team Coach Darryn Fedrick was very pleased with the results of all vaulters and the club’s horses – “many of the vaulters received personal best scores and their performances were great to watch. Special mention to Junior vaulters, Jean Betts & Jazz Heckeroth who performed their Canter Pas De Deux for the first time in competition and achieved a fantastic score.” Looking forward to what these combinations can achieve in the years to come.

This is the last competition for the vaulters in 2016, but they will continue to train over the coming months in preparation for a big year in 2017 with International events to be held in Sydney and Adelaide. The club also have a very keen group of young vaulters who commenced vaulting this year and who plan to attend their first competitions next year.
