Is your Tiny Tot in love with horses (or the idea of horses), too young for riding and wanting more than a pony ride? Or perhaps is just in need of an outlet for all that energy? Come learn about horses and equestrian vaulting in this fun safe class, designed for girls and boys ages 4-6, accompanied by an adult. We’ll start off on the vaulting barrels and then move onto a safe, walking vaulting horse as students progress at their own pace.

What do I need to wear/bring to class?

Vaulters should wear the following to class:
  • Vaulting shoes for vaulting (The vaulter may wear water shoes, ballet, tennis, or other soft shoes for the first few ​classes)
  • ​Tennis shoes for tacking and untacking the horse
  • Form-fitting t-shirt and leggings or sweat pants.  Leotards are also encouraged.
  • Hair should be pulled away from the face.  Long hair should be in a ponytail or bun​.

Vaulting Safety

Beginning vaulters first learn general and horse safety, and quickly progress to practicing their moves on a vaulting barrel, a stationary padded, metal drum, attached to legs, with a vaulting surcingle (handles) attached. Once vaulters are comfortable with their moves on a barrel, they progress to a horse moving at a walk, oftentimes with a spotter right beside them. As vaulters progress up the ranks, the vaulting gaits change from a walk to a trot, and at the highest level vaulters perform on, and in concert with, a cantering horse.
