There is one space on the team!
Team vaulters vault as individuals, in pairs, trios, and on teams, which consist of six members and an alternate. Team
vaulters will work for medals, be invited to perform in demonstrations, and work toward competing. As part of a team, we work
together to train the horse and ourselves. In this class we learn to mount at the walk and trot, and we learn the finer points
of form and mechanics, along with an ever-new and expanding repertoire of exercises.
As with any team endeavor, we also learn sportsmanship and the joys and challenges of working as a group. Early competitions
will be held at our premises for single and doubles participants, as most competitions are held out of state. Vaulters are
expected to work on their strength and flexibility at home or in gymnastics. Team vaulters can also work toward medals and
perform in demonstrations.
Vaulting offers medals based on ability, starting from a novice walk through to Gold medals for canter vaulters.
