Vaulting is an equestrian sport, which involves gymnastic
and acrobatic exercises on a horse, while it's moving along a lunge in
circles. There are three different ways the horse moves, which differ in
speed and suppleness. It is a sport for which you need endurance,
strength, balance, elegance, expression, flexibility, courage, team
spirit, excitement, creativity and probably much more.
Tournaments
In tournaments, the various competing groups perform a
compulsory exercise, which is fixed for all groups in each difficulty level, followed by a
freestyle. The freestyle is created by each group itself. It is not unusual
to tell a story, almost like in a theater without sound. Several people,
usually three to five, like to perform the freestyle on horseback at the
same time.
