Amazing! these guys are extremely talented! and thats one hell of a good horse!

[sdyaussie]

lol, vaulting horses do NOT spend their life running in circles. they are usually cross trained in a few disciplines :)

1. i love horses to death, but i feel bad for the vaulting horses. they spend their life running in a circle.

2. im sorry, why is there a CHILD there?

[vaultingdiva]

@96horseluvr As a general rule (especially the horses used at this level) vaulting horses are well trained all around. They are trained in high level dressage and endurance. We use our horses for three other disciplines to keep their mind and body fresh, they also live outside in our farm in a herd. The "child" is called the "flier" the smaller the better!

Hope that helps.

@96horseluvr actually when the FEI did a study on which discipline had the "happiest" (least stall vices, heath problems ect.) vaulting horses came out way ahead of the other disciplines. :)

That little boy was so amazing. He was the cutest thing too. Extremely talented thats for sure! 

[kara2lucy]

@vaultdiva247 Thats true but if i was his mother I would be terrified he dosent have much suppot sometimes

[Sanchara]

@kara2lucy don't worry too much - the bases know that the flier's life is more important than their own :)

[vaultingdiva]

@vaultdiva247 first of all I love how are SN are similar. :)

Also, I was working there and they are SO good to that little boy. He's a pin thief but he gets away with it. :D He doesn't weigh anything so they just throw him around, his talent is having no fear. You can tell they have never hurt him, he trusts them fully. Its awesome to see, its too bad they didn't fully show what they can do. Their coach is very nice.

[beardiesruleyou]

[Sanchara]
