Camp Erin and Dax Vaulting Vaulting is gymnastic-style exercises and routines on horseback. The horse is always under the instructor's control, as it moves steadily around a circle. Students learn to mount the moving horse, to perform different positions, such as kneeling, and to dismount safely. Balance, strength, flexibility, and confidence are improved, as well as teamwork with other vaulters. No riding experience is necessary.
People practice vaulting to improve their riding, or for fun.
Team vaulting is for vaulters who want to compete and can commit to practicing regularly. Introductory vaulting clinics can be arranged for your club. As an introduction to riding, vaulting shows children how to find their balance and have fun with horses without having to control a 1000 lb. animal. Team members enjoy the challenge of competing and performing demos.
