Woodside Vaulters offers equestrian vaulting that includes time on the horse, work on a stationary barrel, and practice on a moving barrel called the Movie. The program also includes horsemanship, floor gymnastics, and crafts at the barn.
• Ages: 6–18 years old
Woodside Vaulters was founded in 1990 and has been inspiring equestrian vaulters since that time. Since 2008, the club has operated as a California nonprofit corporation, tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The organization describes itself as celebrating 35+ years of equestrian vaulting and as one of the largest and most successful vaulting clubs in the United States. Vaulters come from all over the Bay Area and range in age from 6 to young adult, and the program includes introductory to advanced level vaulters preparing to compete in spring and summer. The organization also offers a Summer Camp 2026 for kids ages 6–12 with no vaulting experience necessary.
The program’s mission is to provide a safe environment where each vaulter has the best opportunity to reach his or her individual goals, for vaulting and for life. Woodside Vaulters emphasizes horsemanship, safety, teamwork, communication skills, fitness, and the bond between vaulter and horse. Programs may include instruction on the horse, stationary barrel, and Movie at the barn.
The coaching staff includes individuals experienced in working with children, as well as coaching and competing at the highest levels. The leadership team includes: Krista Mack (Head Horse Trainer, Lunger, High Performance Coach, Rider), Sarah Twohig (Barn Manager, Lunger, High Performance Coach, Rider), Caroline Morse (High Performance Coach, Lunger, Rider), Emma Milito (High Performance Coach, Lunger, Rider), Larry Markegard (Trot Lunger), Annika Malmstrom (Advanced/Development Trot Coach), Allie Jamei (Trot/Development Canter Coach), and Emi Yang (Trot/Development Canter Coach). The longeurs are described as lifelong horse people with a depth of experience that matches the strength of the coaches. Woodside Vaulters has a board consisting of five directors who are elected by the members and are all parents of current or past vaulters.
Woodside Vaulters notes that parent involvement in operations, facilities, and fundraising is essential to the success and safety of the vaulters. In 2007 and 2014, head trainer Krista Mack received the AVA Trainer of the Year award for her training of Woodside Vaulters’ horses, which have earned three AVA Horse of the Year awards and numerous USEF Vaulting Horse of the Year awards.
