American Vaulting Championship - Gymnastics On Horseback ! (2)

[@cheeseontoast5688]

A lot of people wonder why we don’t wear helmets ever when we vault, it’s because we could injure the horse or our partner, plus it throws off our balance.

[@sportsport4491]

It looks so cool 😉 i don't know if I want to do it or gymnastics 😖

[@isabellaclay5924]

Its easy and fun like you have to have balance or else you wont be stable but its soo fun

[@nicoleov]

I also do this sport I love it🐎🐎🐎🐎

[@lpwaffle2724]

nicole ovadia same

[@isabelle6340]

omg me to I'm with the rouge river valters

[@horsecrazymorgan3409]

nicole ovadia it’s hard work but beautiful exept for me I’m wabbly at my trot stand with no handle and I’m in Colorado with mile high vaulters and I’m proud of it

[@piervaultingvideo29]

Me too

[@nala3055]

in Europe we have to do a sort of weird bouncy run thing gion into the arena which you don't seem to have to do

[@Corgigirl901]

This also looks so much more calm than the European performances I've seen. The European ones often look so rushed, hurrying from one postion into the next and barely holding the different figures for a sec. Why don't they take more time for their performance (the girl in the vid is good)? Or do they have to make it quick, because otherwise it gets too strenuous for the horse?

[@kaschakanofski6988]

ShyFeli these were the compulsories so they have to hold them for 4 strides

[@betterthanrubies2462]

It looks a little easy, but I know it's not, and that it takes LOTS of practice. :)

[@horsecrazymorgan3409]

Better Than Rubies it looks really easy and trust me it exaughting as eu Ning a marathon hard as rock takes as much practice as learning to fly but beautiful af

[@misseltoeslater6347]

No it's not I do it and it's the easys thing in the world stupid

[@angelenaf396]

i learned how to do this in an hour lmao this is literally vaulting basics

[@misseltoeslater6347]

@@angelenaf396 ya right lair ur too fat

[@3hoursago44]

Misseltoe Slater it is not. I bet you haven’t even mounted the horse at a canter so you can stfu. If you’ve been vaulting for more than 2 days you would know that it’s complicated.

[@harleymyers4139]

I like this one.

[@BlackPanther-rn9vf]

Looking good !

[@hannabanana1590]

Yes I stand in walk, troy and canter. The hardest is in troy so o b.bouncy

[@isabellaclay5924]

HannaBanana yes its soooooo hardd

[@ivyedan7183]

I could only stand at a walk...but I'd have to be at that gate..I couldn't do it from a stop

[@masyn5819]

It’s trot

[@lpwaffle2724]

I do vaulting and I can't do that yet and am new

[@estefaniaromero5443]

yo puedo hacer eso siiiii

[@S4MBENTZ]

[@ShammyKat]

[@coregoddesslives5759]

Nice.

[@mmmmmhhmm2851]

2:07 even the horse agrees with me, screw you gymnastics

[@Mia20__06]

She was dismounting and it was only compulsories they aren’t meant to be fancy

[@sophabella4293]

Is anybody else here because they pressed on a Pinterest post link?😂

[@keannareddish191]

no

[@yagirlsilverr]

Western trick riding is so much cooler though.

[@isabelle6340]

thats an opinion this sport is not about throughing your self into scary moves its about doing then with perfect for and how you round your back point your toes and land mount and how long you would moves and we are juged in trick riding its just for entertainment]

[@zoe5317]

Personally, I think this is way cooler! It looks way more technical and seems to require much more strength and accuracy.

[@thepowerpixie4213]

um.... nice but it was easy and the horse bucked

[@lisahardy4094]

it bucked 😐 she grazed his flanks before dismounting. It was more of a "whoa hey that tickles!" buck

[@Corgigirl901]

Is this a mare? I watched quite a bit of vaulting and whenever a horse bucks, I noticed it's almost always a mare. I think it's because they're more sensitive in their croup area. I have a mare too, and especially when she's in heat, she doesn't like to be touched in her hind area. For vaulting, I'd use a gelding.

[@ke00si12]

Stop hating

[@zoe5317]

@@robynfreiheit117 Hahah, i know this is 2 years old but at 2:07 she bucks.

[@notinuse9730]

lol his canter was so lazy

[@ooftastic2872]

RaineMsp Her* and its not lazy in person also for vaulting you want a slow steady canter not a fast one

[@hannabanana1590]

that's easyI am ten years old and that is easy

[@rud4._]

+HannaBanana Have you ever tried it though? it looks easy but it's not!

[@lpwaffle2724]

It's not easy at all I do vaulting and it's hard

[@isabelle6340]

umm I have been vaulting since I was 4 and I'm 13 and this is hard work you are so funny you don't understand how every move has to be judged and be pefect you have to have so much training and hard work

[@isabelle6340]

and also if you knew anything about this sport you would know these are the compusurie routine with all levels have to do you also have a much more difficult routine called your freestyle

[@julianndavis9415]

One person on horseback is one thing. Multiple people bouncing around on the poor horse is so abusive. 🐴

[@caelimcalonan2153]

This is horse cruelty!🐴😢

[@agnieszkaszymula1658]

No it is not !

[@keannareddish191]

how all they're doing is moving they're feet and people put tack and stuff on horses all the time

[@sydneymccawley1096]

they do it so gracefully with the movement of the horse it doesn't hurt the horse

[@reneepadfield1883]

they have trained for so long before getting on the horse and they have special techniques to make sure the horse is comfortable!
