A Natural Progression

Some time in the distant past

before we knew about vaulting

GrandPoppy forgets that he really does not like horses, for just this wonderful minute

The Student - May 2002

Lois Dennison of Stearns Street, a Carlisle School sixth grader, joined her fellow members of the New England Valkyries Vaulting Team in performing a demonstration at the Norfolk County Agricultural Fair in Walpole. Vaulting is the sport of gymnastics on a moving horse. The team's coach, Rachel Webber, and their horse, Devon, have their home base at Apple Valley Farm in Harvard, Massachusetts

The Her Students

After 5 days of camp these vaulters:

To choreograph their own Kur

 

Their Teamwork and fun was demonstrated to a very small audience of excited parents on the last day.

 

 

Luke is such a good boy!
