Vaulting: Mondays 5:00pm.

Equestrian vaulting is often described as gymnastics on horseback. The horse is controlled by a lunger and in a 15-metre circle, while the vaulter performs exercises on the horse’s back using specialist equipment. Vaulting is a fantastic physical activity that helps with concentration and focus as well as balance and control. Vaulting training sessions combine skills such as dance and gymnastics to help to develop confidence, balance and harmony with the horse. Being part of a vaulting group is a lot of fun!
