Vaulting

Equestrian Vaulting is most often described as gymnastics and dance on horseback, and like these disciplines, it is both an art and a highly competitive sport. It is one of ten competitive equestrian events recognized by the International Federation of Equestrian Sport, along with: dressage, Combined driving, endurance riding, eventing, horseball, paraequestrian, reining, show jumping, and tent pegging. Therapeutic or Interactive Vaulting is also used as form of treatment for children and adults who may have balance, attention, gross motor skill, or social deficits. (wiki)

I've always though vaulting was beautiful to watch. I'd love to learn, but there isn't really anywhere out here to learn. Have any of you ever tried vaulting?

My day is complete because I just learned something. I have never heard of vaulting before. I looked it up and they have a website http://www.americanvaulting.org/ that has some pictures. Seems like it might be hard on a horses back, but they must take precautions. If you want to learn, they have a find club section and you could contact one of the clubs.
