Australian Vaulting Championships Begin Today

As well as crowing Australia’s vaulting champions for 2013, this year’s Championships is offering a CVI3*, which is the first time that a competition of this level has been conducted in Australia.

Competitors with their eye on a position in Australia’s vaulting team for WEG will benefit from performing in front of an international judging panel comprised of judges from the USA and Germany as well as Australia’s highest ranked FEI Vaulting judge Angie Deeks.

The addition of a CVI2* and 1* to the schedule also gives emerging vaulters a chance to gain their qualifications to progress to a higher level of competition at future events.

Vaulters from the USA, Canada, Mauritius and New Zealand have travelled to Sydney to compete at the Championships, which are being held at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre, offering local riders a truly international experience without having to travel overseas.

There will be more than 150 competitors taking part in the four day event including the reigning individual female champion Krystle Lander and male champion David Waller.

The 17^th Australian Vaulting Championships runs from Thursday through to Sunday at the Sydney International Equestrian Centre, Horsley Park.
