WELCOME TO TECHNIQUE EQUESTRIAN VAULTING CLUB!
In October of 2007, Technique Equestrian Vaulting Club was formed. As one of only two
vaulting clubs in Utah, Technique is helping introduce horse enthusiasts across the state to the wonderful and ancient sport of vaulting. Currently, Technique operates in Saratoga Springs, at Silver Springs Stables. We have over 60 vaulters ranging in ages from five to forty-five, and seven horses. We provide classes at walk, trot, and canter levels, as well as put on demonstrations and compete across the United States. WHAT IS VAULTING? Vaulting is a competitive equestrian sport governed by the American Vaulting Association. It is recognized by the United States Equestrian Federation and is one of only eight disciplines represented at the World Equestrian Games. It combines dance, gymnastics, and riding into an equestrian performance sport. Vaulting dates back to the days of Ancient Rome, where it was used to train Roman cavalrymen to stay on their mounts during battle. Today it is a worldwide competitive sport and an important part of most European riding schools. Vaulting came to the U.S. in the 1960's, and now there are over 100 clubs across the nation. |
