Gold Star Pacesetters have set goals for the team in 2019. They worked hard in 2018 to build the team up and gain some competition experience. Now with a little experience under their belts, the team is ready to work hard, improve their skills, and compete more often. American Vaulting Nationals will be in St. Louis, MO in August of 2019 and the team has made it a top goal to go to nationals. Although the team is young with most being under the age of 16, many members plan to work to make it to the Copper or Bronze level by Nationals. The team is also looking to grow their team this year by adding more vaulters. The team currently consists of 5 vaulters who wish to be competitive and have three more younger vaulters who are working to learn the basics of vaulting. The goal is to have 12-15 competitive vaulters.
Before Nationals in August, the team plans to attend a clinic with a vaulting clinician, hopefully in their home arena in Burleson. Then going to a competition in New Mexico in May and Regionals in July, in Leveland, Tx. They will then finish their season off with a competition in Castle Rock, Co in October.
Attending competitions is not all this team does throughout the year. Gold Star Pacesetters is seen annually a the City On a Hill festival in Burleson, Tx doing a demo for the public. They also have annual demonstrations at the World Equestrian Drill Team Competition in Athens, Tx in June, as well as another city festival in Forth Worth, TX, and Christmas demonstrations at Curragh Equestrian Center and Wings of Hope Equine therapy Center in Burleson. They often put on clinics for local Pony clubs and other newer vaulting groups in the region. One of the goals of the Gold Star Pacesetters is to promote the sport of Equestrian Vaulting.
The goals are many for this small team and there will be costs involved. The team is planning to have fund raisers to help them reach these goals and be able to attend these competitions. Be watching our website, Facebook, and Instagram for upcoming events, demos, and competitions.
