VAULTING Vaulting made use of the new $40-million-plus Alltech indoor arena during the second week of the WEG, with individual men’s and women’s divisions and a team division. In vaulting twenty percent of the score is for the horse and two of the six judges are assigned to score
only the horse. A vaulting horse must be brave and steady and have rhythmic gaits. One Trakehner named PITUCELLI was on the British vaulting squad with individual vaulter Lucy Phillips and lunger Rebecca Morgan. Pitucelli is a 12-year-old dark bay gelding by E.H. Hohenstein, out of Pr. St. Pari by Argument and is owned by Phillips, who purchased him in Austria in 2009. They finished in 13th place.
