Vaulting is gymnastics on a moving horse. The horse moves in a controlled 15m circle while a gymnast or a team of gymnasts perform several tricks on top of the horse. There are six basic moves: basic seat, mill, scissors, flag, stand, flank. the movements are to be performed in succession without pause....unless you are on a team then the first three are performed and then the next three.
Vaulting is sometimes used for therapeutic riding....it helps improve motor skills, and balance. I actually found this very interesting since I have recently started to volunteer at a therapeutic riding center ( which does not use vaulting as a technique, but I think it would be interesting to see the vaulting techniques used by other centers.)
