Equestrian vaulting: balance, agility and harmony on the horse

Equestrian vaulting is a unique sport that fuses gymnastics, dance and riding. With breathtaking displays, graceful movement and serious physical challenge, it captivates participants and audiences alike.

In vaulting, athletes perform acrobatic exercises on the back of a horse moving at a steady canter — alone, in pairs or as a team. The horse moves on a longe rein, controlled by a handler in the centre of the circle.

The sport’s roots reach back to ancient Rome; in its modern form it took shape in the 20th century, and today it is part of official world championships. It develops physical fitness and coordination, and has a positive effect on the inner life as well.

Vaulting is open to every age, from beginners to experienced athletes. It is especially valuable for those who want to improve balance and agility, build teamwork and confidence, or seek a creative, artistic form of expression in a dynamic setting.
