Imagine a backbend … while on a horse … while the horse is moving. Sound impossible? Not if you’re a vaulter!
Vaulting is an equestrian sport involving gymnastics on a moving horse. Flags, mills, scissors, and stands are moves that vaulters perform. While most people have only seen vaulting at a circus, it’s an activity derived from ancient Crete and Rome using bulls and horses. Vaulting today is recognized for teaching coordination, teamwork, balance, strength, and creativity.
