Vaulting in Lunteren


Sunday was a long day. Up at 0700, feeding the horses. 0730 two horses loaded on the trailer, engine started at 0735, on the road to Lunteren with two horses, five kids, Hellen the trainer and Gerrit the driver. 09.30 arrived at Lunteren, a very nice riding-school. The rest of the kids arrived at 10.00, in total seventeen kids and about ten parents. Nicky and Twan started in the solo class, nicky in the C-class, Twan in the Junior-class. They performed very well, Twan earned the first of two points necessary for the qualification for the National Championship, he was very proud. On the (underexposed) picture you see him performing his handstand. He ended fourth out of twelve.
Next were the eight kids of the C-team. They started with their compulsory exercises and later on that day they performed an excelent free exercise and won the first prize in their class. The two E-teams also performed very well, they won the first and second prize in their class. 1800 all prizes were collected and the kids and horses were loaded again. 2030 the horses were unloaded and taken care of. 2100 we sat down and relaxed. A very well spend day!
