Vaulting

The vaulting horse is an equestrian discipline recognized by the International Equestrian Federation in the nineties. This is a sport that combines gymnastics, horse riding, during the performance figures of the gymnast must perform on a horse at walk or canter to the music. The vault is subdivided into several categories based on the degree of difficulty of preparation of the athlete. The race consists of "Compulsory exercises" that all athletes must perform, and "free exercise" out of the Voltigeur single, all in a constant balance with the horse. It 'should start practicing this discipline at an early age (you can start from 5 years) to make the body flexible and balanced and to acquire the proper coordination, mastery and elegance of the movements of gymnastics and acrobatics. Unlike most equestrian sports, the vault is not necessarily performed on a horse owned by the athlete.
