We would like to take this opportunity to introduce vaulting, ourselves, and our farm. Vaulting has been described as gymnastics on horseback. Both boys and girls can take part in the sport. It offers an opportunity for both genders to work together on an equal level. The vaulters learn balance, coordination, teamwork and confidence. Students learn the moves on a stationary barrel, which has handles and the feel of the horses’ back. A typical class would include work on the barrel, a tumbling area, obstacle course and, of course, the horse! As the students’ skill progresses, so does the complexity of the sport. The beauty of vaulting is that you can have a class full of students with only one horse needed. There is no special equipment necessary for the students to purchase – they can vault in sweat pants or leggings and sneakers. All that is necessary is the desire to have fun!
