CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
Vaulters in all of our classes have the opportunity to be a part of local demonstrations, competitions, and our annual team performances.

Walk / Trot - Entry level class for students ages 7-15. No experience is necessary. In this class, the vaulter learns about horse and vaulter safety, balance, coordination, and confidence through the basic vaulting skills. A great way to begin riding.
Trot Team - Students ages 7-15 may try-out to participate on Technique's competitive or demonstration team, this is not an entry level class. Vaulters must already have experience, including a full understanding of both horse and vaulter safety, body awareness, and the ability to properly execute all compulsory moves at the walk. Here the vaulters perform at the trot and continue to build strength, flexibility, and balance.
