@therwea its not necessary - Helmets could get caught up in the equipment, they're more dangerous when vaulting than being properly trained to dismount. Vaulting has a very good safety record. Horses are specially trained and selected for temperament and always in the control of an experienced lunger
@therwea And truth be told, especially at the beginner levels where you start your training, there is very little you'll be doing where you couldn't catch yourself before you hit the ground. As far as when you're doing team work, it is the job of the base to ensure that the flier NEVER touches the ground. The base it allowed to fall but they are to protect the flier at all times.
can you possibly put a lesson video on how to do a handstand like on the bars? i can do it on the ground but im so scared im gonna beak my neck ://///

@Jubber08 yes the number of stables doing this is small but do google the name of your national vaulting organisation (british equestrian vaulting in the UK) to see where you might be able to go...
@spongebobLOVE01 - and you are really experienced at this? I think not! this is perfectly acceptable practice - suggest you keep your armchair H&S pronouncements to yourself!

a horse like this is worth its weight in gold. comment to the folks who are fussy about safety: learning to ride includes learning to fall. you can fall without hurting youself. eventually muscle memory will tuck your body into a neat little round position, and you'll almost always land on your derriere and roll. i grew up from age 5 allowed to ride alone anywhere i could make a horse go. i have been thrown, fallen on, stepped on, etc. and only once did i have injury needing help.
@JessPonyLover1 I do not see the issue - at this level barefoot is perfectly acceptable - why propose the need for shoes but not a hat then? Surely that is more of a safety issue with vaulting?
I'm just glad Pakefield will give youngsters this wonderful experience.
I've been to pakefeild and their saftey record is awful, and the lessons i had were do bad for saftey, i would not recomend normal riding at this place let alone vaulting!
@swuzzie - horseriding is not a safe armchair sport - the risks go with the activity (a bit like skiing!) - I dont know what you expect a riding school to do about this - wrap you in a mattress perhaps? lol!
They are one of the few places willing to teach vaulting in the UK and I take my hat off to them for that! Lets hope the H&S idiots never stop them...
i love beatha

@princess - frankly you have no reason to feel sorry and no, it is not an issue undertaking all the various seating positions when vaulting...
