Vaulting is definitely scary at first. I still deal with some confidence/fear issues, but they have subsided a lot. Now I’m just having fun with it. B, I can see how it would seem that vaulting is more about gymnastics, but I’ve found that you really have to be in tune with the horse because, like riding, you have to be in total sync with his movements in order to keep your balance. You both have to trust and have confidence in one another. If you’ve been interested in trying it, you should! You just might really like it. And if you don’t, no harm done. At least you’ll know for sure whether or not it’s your thing. If you do give it a try, let me know!

My friend has a boomproof horse that she gets my instructor to lunge so she can practice some fun vaulting-type stuff! I think I’d be terrified personally! I think I’ll stick with reining!

But I doesn’t really seem like my thing; it just seems like it’s more about gymnastics than horses.
