My friend and i would like to get into horse vaulting. I was just wondering if anyone new any good horse vaulting teams or schools that would take us on and teach us vaulting, on the Gold Coast? Also if there a weight limit or age limit to start? I know you have to be fit, ob viously, But is there any constrants that would stop a person from vaulting?
Thankyou very much =]|||Here is a link to the American Vaulting Assosciation:
http://www.americanvaulting.org/index.sh鈥?/a>
They have places for you to look up a vaulting team in your area or how to start a club if there are none near you.
This is pulled directly from that site and answers your question on age:
"At what age can you start vaulting?
One of the beauties of this terrific sport is that vaulters can be pre-schoolers or adults鈥攁nd any age in between!"
As far as weight, I assume it is the same with any riding, that as long as you fit the horse and it can hold you comfortably, you should be fine. There should not be a weight limit, and I do not see anything about it on the website.
The only other things that may stop someone from vaulting are medical issues, such as back problems and such, because you need to be able to do gymnastics moves.
Good luck! I've always loved watching vaulters. =D
