Canadian first for
WV horse vaulter

WEST VANCOUVER’S
-Sady Baggen-Mueller will
be the first Canadian ever
to participate in the Horse
Vaulting World Champion-
ships to be held in
Heilbronn, Germany next
week,

The sport involves a horse rider
periorming gymnastic moves while
the horse canters.

“I've been vaulting for 12
years. I like it because it combines
my interest in gymnastics and my
love of horses,” said Baggen-
Mueller.

The Canadian Equestrian Fed-
eration and the Burnaby
Horsemen Association are partial-
ly sponsoring Baggen-Mueller’s
attendance at the competition.

Baggen-Mueller's nine-year-old

Thoroughbred horse called

* Emperor Charles will not be going

to the world championships. In-
stead, Baggen-Mueller will be us-
ing a German horse during the
event which has drawn athletes
from 23 countries.

Baggen-Mueller, 33, placed
lath in an 18-country vaulting
competition held last year in
Cloverdale.

The Canadian Equestrian
Association recently recognized
vaulting as an equestrian sport,
but the activity has a tong history
in other countries.

Baggen-Mueller started com-
peting in vaulting at age 14 and
coached the sport for many years
in Burnaby before returning to the
show ring to compete last year.

Baggen-Mueller and her horse,
Emperor Charles, have placed
first in Canadian vaulting horse
competitions.

trouble. to the fire department and
