What is Vaulting?

 

Vaulting is the sport of gymnastics and dance on the back of a moving horse at the walk, trot or canter gait. It's a wonderful way to develop coordination, balance, trust, teamwork, responsibility, self confidence, strength, and creativity while working in harmony with the horse. It is a wonderful supplement to horseback riding as well.

​

Is Vaulting Safe?

​

Vaulting is always done in a very controlled environment- in a large circle with soft footing. The horse, trainer and vaulter work as a team, with the trainer controlling the horse at the walk, trot or canter gait, while the vaulter performs moves. Vaulting is documented as the safest of the equestrian sports!

​

Team practices run an hour long and include setting up, stretching, and vaulting on both the stationary vaulting barrel and the horse.
