Vaulting in equestrian is a discipline that combines gymnastics and dance performed on a moving horse. The horse moves in a circle on a lunge line at a canter, while vaulters perform choreographed movements, both individually and in teamsm, showcasing balance, strength, flexibility, and coordination.
It is often described as gymnastics on horseback and can include mounts, dismounts, handstands, lifts, and artistic poses, all synchronized with the horse’s rhythm. Vaulting emphasizes harmony with the horse and is practiced both competitively and recreationally around the world.
Shared successes and failures strengthen teamwork and motivate continuous improvement of both individual and collective performance – together with the horse. This unique partnership not only builds athletic discipline and resilience but also fosters leadership skills, empathy, and mutual trust essential for personal growth and effective collaboration.
