I’m actually on a Trick Riding drill team, The Midwest Renegades. And we have to trust our horses to run in a circle or a straight line or on a diagnol or whatever we need them to track at that time in our 8 minute drill. We do many different tricks but we have to be VERY connected to our horses and we must both trust each other to know that the other one will be there and do their job. It is very physically demanding but it is loads of fun!! =] we must have great amounts of control of our horses to keep both us and the other 8 riders on the team safe from collisions while we have 8-9 loose horses running “wild & free” around the arena while we are upside down or flipping off our horses. I would like to go to these clinics just to see how they do things in the actual competition and true sport of vaulting.

Hmm, I’ve always thought that vaulting sounded pretty neat, but it seems less horsey than riding. I mean, obviously you have to learn to be in sync with the horse’s movements, but it’s not like you’re controlling the horse, and it just seems like you wouldn’t be as ‘connected’ with the horse.
But it does look like a VERY physically demanding sport–you’d HAVE to be in really good shape to go very far with it. I would like to try vaulting some day, if I could only find someone who teaches this.
