What is Equestrian Vaulting?​
A combination of agility of gymnastics, creativity of dance, balance, rhythm and harmony of horse back riding. All vaulters start out by learning FUNdamentals. Free style moves and routines are created by each individual, pair or team and preformed to music at varying gaits of walk, trot or canter while being lunged in large circles.
​
Vaulting will help develop and improve your independent seat, riding position (ear, shoulder, hip, and heel alignment). It can be a great advantage when used as cross-training for a rider. Compulsories, free style moves, warm ups, and fitness training all build a riders core strength. It also teaches a rider to be able to recover from losing their balance. Learning how to fall safely or dismount the horse in motion will build confidence.
