Hannah Wildermuth
Athlete, Coach, Lunger
Hannah is currently in her 5th year of vaulting and has been training to compete at the Bronze Level. She frequently travels domestically and internationally with the U.S. Senior Squad as their “flyer”. Her goals are set with medaling individually at the Junior Level when she turns 14 years of age.
Jump Start
Equine Team Member
Was foaled on our farm March 15th, 2009. He was 3 weeks overdue and was unable to stand when he was born. The first 3 days of his life was dependent on Heather lifting him to his feet every 3 hrs. Hence how he got his name “Jump Start”, as his life needed a jump start. Jump Start is a 17.1h Oldenburg. He carries our tiny tots all the way up to silver vaulter.
Captain Jack
Equine Team Member
Captain Jack is a 11yr old Percheron/cross. We purchased him in November 2019 from a vaulting family. Captain is just the sweetest gentle giant.
Beast
Equine Team Member
Beast is a Gypsy Vanner/Quarter Horse. He is a 9 yr old 15h paint gelding. In 2019 Beast joined our team. He is wonderful with all the little kids as he will let them do anything including paint him. Hannah rides, lunges, and is training him for canter.

Beautiful Black 9yr old 17h Shire/Warmblood Mare. Dixie came to us from a friend in CA in Oct. 2022. We are excited to start training with her. She loves to canter! Our hopes for Dixie are that she becomes a squad horse for the future. Welcome to the family Dixie.
