Vaulting is a unique and exciting discipline that combines gymnastics and dance on horseback, offering children a fun, safe, and confidence-building way to connect with horses. Vaulting can be used as a way into riding, or to improve riding skills. In a typical vaulting lesson, children learn to move rhythmically and creatively first on a specially designed barrel and then when they have mastered that, they try on a horse.Sessions last 90 minutes, and a typical session would consist of the following:&nbsp;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Warm up·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gymnastics&nbsp;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Barrel training&nbsp;·&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Cool down.All ages welcome from 5 upwards to 16 years old
