EQUESTRIAN
VAULTING - what is it?
Vaulting
is one of the seven disciplines recognized by
the Fédération Equestre Internationale
(FEI) for international competition, and is most
easily described as gymnastics performed on the
back of a moving horse, in harmony with it.
As in many other forms of athletic competition
(eg figure skating or gymnastics), participants
are judged on both a set of compulsory moves,
and in a freestyle competition called a Kür.
With a history extending back to Roman sports,
vaulting requires the teamwork of the vaulters,
horse and lunger, who controls the horse with
a lunge line. Vaulters may compete as individuals,
in pairs, or as a team. |
This
is a wonderful sport to introduce children to
horses. Only one horse is required for about 8-10
children. They learn to have complete confidence
before they have to control the horse. They also
learn teamwork early on for competition.

GLENEAGLES
VAULTING GROUP now renamed the EAGLES VAULTING
GROUP
The
Gleneagles Vaulting Group was formed over twelve
years ago. Ann Hunt is chairman and head trainer.
Vaulting brings together in one sport the disciplines
of gymnastics, dance and learning to work with
that wonderful animal, the horse.
"I have had the pleasure of watching
young people develop in poise and grow in confidence
through Vaulting. It is a fantastic team sport
where children of different ages learn to work
closely together and also to respect their horse."
Ann
