The squad since January 2010 have been training at Moulton college, Northamptonshire. The college have been extremely supportive to vaulting as a new discipline and have started their own vaulting group held every Wednesday evening. They have 22 new members aged from 6 to 19.
The facilities at the college are superb, the indoor school is huge with a super surface. We have use of the sports hall, the weights room and the dance studio. The horses are also well looked after with the equipe therapy center benefitting the welfare of our horses. Go fast has a weekly spa treatment !! and loves it !!
We train three days a week with the Advanced squad. We have had the help of Steffi Burkhart over the winter with fitness, flexability and conditioning. She has also designed our new freestyle and put together our music to match the catsuits she has designed.
We have had Nicola Stroh to train us thanks to the BEF and Jessica Schmit has also been with us, we have a hard year ahead but are relishing the challenge.
The Intermediate Team are also working really hard, they have a new freestyle for 2010 and are looking forward to a busy season. They train along with the Advanced Squad and are working hard with the new fitness regime the squad now have.
The EVS also hold training days to advance other groups, vaulters and coaches. If you or your group would like any help please do not hesitate to contact us. We also organise talent spotting days to invite new members into the squad.
