the IRISH vaulting team. well what can i say to people it wouldnt count as a team scince there is one member no horse or barrel. nothing other than what some people call a *retired* vaulter. but im not. i just need help being pushed in the right direction. im going to itroduce a *new age* of vaulting to IRELAND! As I myself have been taught by some of the best I believe that I can succesfully pass on the gift of vaulting.im going to take this moment to thank all my inspirations and coaches. *to the coaches* *Marriane Rose* -you have always helped ,me from day number one and you helped ,me make the 'foundation' wihtout it I will never make it to worlds but i have so no worries! thanks *Emma Drinker* you never pushed me to hard i guess just enoguh to fly. despite problems with team kurs you always had a way to come out of it on top and we did thanks. *Sue Smith* though you only coach me for a little bit I feel that you have made the most impact on my vaulting.I always felt you were sort of like a second mother to me actually to most of your vaulters i have never seen a coach care so much about her vaulters. you have always believed in me and you cant even imagine the impact it has made on me and I just hope I can touch the lives of my future vaulters half as well as you have touched mine because even half will be enough! thank you so much. *and to my insprirations* I would have made it through these years without you guys! *Sam Smith* *all of the PCV team* *and any random coaches that passed by and helped me* thank you so much everyone

vaulting has been described in many ways *gymnastics on horseback* or a mixture of dance and ice skating and gymnastics. to me vaulting is an art a true art. whatever connects horse and human in such a powerful way has to be called an art.
