Starlite Vaulters History
The Starlite Vaulters first started in 1987. The team has moved from a barrel only team to a three horse team. They practice twice a week in Clovis with their Paint Draft-Cross, Rock Solid. The vaulters begin learning to vault by practicing on a barrel. The barrel allows vaulters to learn new exercises before mounting the horse, which simulates the size, shape, and movement of the horse. Starlite Vaulters ranked third in the nation with their trot 2-phase team for 1994 and have continuously had champion winning individual vaulters at walk, trot and canter.
Starlite Vaulters is a nonprofit group who need your help to continue to teach children that they can accomplish anything they want. Many of the vaulters not only excel in vaulting but also are or become honor roll students in their school work and their other sports. It is through the hard work that the sport of vaulting requires that they learn they must put forth their “all” in anything and everything they do. Starlite Vaulters teaches children they can achieve!
