Vaulting

What is Vaulting

Equestrian Vaulting combines gymnastics and dance on the back of a moving horse at the walk, trot or canter. In addition to being a fun way to work with horses, vaulting helps build confidence,balance,strength and cordination.

Who can vault? Anyone!

Vaulting lessons are open to ages 5 and up. They require no prior horsemanship experience. First time vaulters learn basic drills on a stationary barrel before transitioning to horseback. Even the most beginning vaulter is able to master several excersises in the first lesson, fostering feelings of accomplishment and pride.

Is vaulting safe? ABSOLUTELY!

Vaulting is one of the safest equestrian sports. During the lesson the horse is controlled by an instructor and the vaulter is assisted (spotted) by another instructor. Vaulting is always done in a very controlled enviroment and careful attention is given to the safety of each vaulter.
