What is Vaulting?
Vaulting is a growing equestrian sport in the United States which can be best described as gymnastics/dance on a moving horse. The horse is controlled by a loungeur and moves in a circle. Beginners start at the walk and progress to the canter. Vaulting helps build balance and confidence on the horse as well as general athletic ability. Vaulting is a year round sport, an indoor or outdoor arena is used to work the horse. A barrel, or practice horse, is used to learn routines before performing them on the horse. Competitions are held using a barrel, horse, or both. Being part of a vaulting group is a lot of fun. With the use of music, vaulters perform individually as well as pairs, trios, or as a team.
Vaulting offers the skills of dance and gymnastics while adding the opportunity to be involved with horses. It's a wonderful way to develop coordination, balance, strength, and creativity while working in harmony with horses.
