VAULTING

Notice

For 2025 only, there will be no vaulting horse. All activities will take place on vaulting equipment this year.

Leap into Adventure!

Vaulting combines gymnastics and horsemanship, requiring strength, balance, and coordination to perform movements on a moving horse. A strong partnership between vaulter and horse, built on mutual trust and respect, is essential for success and safety.

Classes are $60 per participant

Open to all aged 5 thru 19! 🍀

Participants will practice a variety of vaulting maneuvers, starting on a stationary barrel apparatus and then transitioning to a horse being lunged. This approach provides a safe and supportive environment for all.

Key elements 🐴

  • Balance and Posture - Maintaining a stable center of gravity and proper body alignment while on the moving horse.

  • Horse Awareness - Maintaining awareness of the horse's movement and adapting to its gait.

  • Safety Focus - Participants will learn proper techniques with guidance to ensure a positive experience.

  • Gymnastics on Horseback - Engage in exercises that promote strength, balance, and flexibility.
     

This class aims to instill a love for riding while ensuring safety and skill development among young participants.

 

Participants do not need an official evaluation to participate in vaulting.
