Mile High Vaulters began in 2002 with Peaches, EVUSA (AVA) horse number “1”. She proudly carried that number until she passed away in 2005. The EVUSA (AVA) agreed to transfer that number to Peaches’ only foal, Amidala, who vaulted with us until her retirement in late 2024. We are fortunate at Mile High to have a barn full of safe, experienced vaulting horses for all levels.
