​What is equestrian vaulting?
 

Vaulting is the performance of gymnastic and dance-like movements to music on a moving horse.

 

The horse is controlled by a lunger who sends him in a circle around them on the end of a lunge line.

 

Vaulters begin working in walk and progress, with training from a qualified instructor, to be able to execute fantastic freestyle performances in the canter. Vaulters learn to have the agility and athleticism of gymnasts, the grace and expression of dancers and the balance and feel of equestrians.

"Horse Vaulting" as some refer to it, is slowly growing in the province of Ontario. As of 2016, there are two competitions each year and we hope to see new clubs participating in 2017 and beyond!
