Retired Fund: Woodside Vaulters Fund

Retired Fund: Woodside Vaulters Fund

Even a group as grounded in the community as the Woodside Vaulters can sometimes use a leg up. Founded in 1990, the Vaulters unexpectedly lost a horse to cancer last year and are due to retire another next year. As a result, the club partnered with the Woodside Community Foundation to  raise funds for 2 new horses ($70K). Additional needs include facility improvements ($10K) and building back a 3-month operating reserve decimated by Covid ($50K).

Who, What, and Why

A Woodside institution, the Woodside Vaulters is a 501c3 non-profit that trains at the Woodside Horse Park and provides year-round instruction in recreational and competitive vaulting.  The program emphasizes horsemanship, safety, team building, communication skills, and trust between horse and vaulter.

A center of vaulting excellence nationally and internationally, their 33 vaulters include competitors at the beginners, national champions, and world champion levels. Their national champion squad vaulters are now training to earn a spot at the 2025 World Championships in Basel, Switzerland.
