Dale Bullivant from North Shore Gymnastics Association –
Boys head coach/ Team Director
My boys were falling at every meet until we purchased the new horse from American Gymnast. After practicing on the new horse for just three weeks, my optional team hit 6/7 routines at the Minnesota State Championships. Our boys were 1st and 2nd level 10 scoring a 13.3 and 13.0. We also won level 9, 7, and 6!
The new horse style is very different and having it for practice has made a huge difference for competitions.
