  2018 continued in full swing for the Gold Star Pacesetters.  After competing in Texfest in June and performing in Athens, TX, the team turned their focus to their next event, The Burleson City annual 4th of July Parade.  The team gather patriotic decorations, worked to decorate a float and two horses, picked out patriotic costumes and headed to the line up area of the parade.  Mr. Pace pulled the float with vaulters doing compulsory and freestyle moves on the barrels.  Several other vaulters were able to do compulsory and freestyle moves on the horse, Gus and Killian.  Gus was led by lunger and parent Deb Dyrssen, and Killian was led by owner, Merrideth.  The Pacesetter vaulters showed the on looking crowd some of their special and intriguing moves atop the horses and waved enthusiastically to the crowd.

In mid July, one vaulter, Adelee Dyrssen, went to Iowafest Vaulting competition in Cedar Falls , IA.  She used this competition to perfect her freestyles at the trot before competing in Regional Competition later in October.  She did well, taking first overall in the trot division.  She enjoyed the competition and came back encouraging other vaulters to try it in 2019.

In late September the team did another demo in Fort Worth, at a city festival there.  They demonstrated their compulsories and freestyle moves on barrels and had many kids on the barrels trying the maneuvers too.  The team also performed on horse to music every hour on the hour.  We were able to take 2 horses this year to this festival, Gus, owned by Gold Star Pacesetters, and Marshall owned by Wings of Hope.  This was a great opportunity for the vaulters to fine tune their performances for Regional competition in Castle Rock, Co in just 2 short weeks.
