How to start horse vaulting in virginia?

Or anything about horse vaulting because I do not know anything at all


Is it really cheap like people say?


Is it really scary the very first time?








ps. I have been riding hunter / jumper and dressage for 8 years in Lorton, VA so any vaulting places near Lorton would be grand. thank you!!





also i would like to know- does any other hunter / jumper or dressage kids convert to vaulting like me? and what age do ppl normally start? (im probably late, i think..)|||Just ask around- there might not be a school, persay, for vaulting, but SOMEONE prolly does it. I think how cheap it is depends on each place.





I have never vaulted, but I know some people who do/have, and this is what I know about it. I know it is basically like gymnastics on horseback- it's hard. I know usually they have a certain horse to do it, you don't do it on your own mount (Unless obviously they have the correct build and have been trained for it) I know that in many places in Europe, kids start vaulting at a very young age- often they have to master that, or atleast be ok at it, before they are even allowed to touch a saddle. I think most people start it young- before age 10- but I don't think it would be the end of the world if you started late.|||Ah god, i saw the word vagina like two times, and im like what? haha.





Anyways, here is a site that tells you all about horse vaulting, it has Q%26amp;A's too.
