Vaulting

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equestri…



"In competitive vaulting, vaulters compete as individuals, pairs (or pas-de-deux), and teams. Beginning vaulters
compete at the walk or trot while experienced vaulters compete at the canter." wikipedia.org

"Vaulters also compete in team and individual freestyles (previously known as a Kur). An individual Kur is a 1
minute freestyle and team is 4 minutes. They are both choreographed to music. The components of a freestyle vaulting
routine may include mounts and dismounts, handstands, kneeling and standing and aerial moves such jumps, leaps and
tumbling skills. However many of these skills are only seen in the highest levels. A typical routine for a child or
beginner teen/adult will more likely contain variations on simple kneels and planks. Teams also carry, lift, or even
toss another vaulter in the air. " wikipedia.org

"Vaulting horses are not saddled, but wear a surcingle (or a roller) and a thick back pad. The surcingle has
special handles which aid the vaulter in performing certain moves as well as leather loops called "cossack stirrups".
The horse wears a bridle and side reins. The lunge line is usually attached to the inside bit ring." wikipedia.org
