Interactive Vaulting Instructor
Dynamic gymnastic positions on the back of an equine.
Interactive Vaulting is an activity in which the students perform movements on and around the horse. These movements can be very simple such as sitting without holding onto the surcingle or a more elaborate vaulting position move, such as kneeling or standing on the horse. An Interactive Vaulting Instructor is able to create a safe, dynamic environment that offers educational, social, creative and movement opportunities to participants engaged in horsemanship activities.
