Para-Equestrian Vaulting

Para-equestrian vaulting is a specialized equestrian sport where athletes with physical disabilities perform gymnastic and dance-like routines on a moving horse, often guided by a trainer on the ground. It combines artistic expression, strength, and balance, requiring athletes to execute precise moves such as poses, flips, and transitions. The sport promotes inclusion and showcases the athleticism of individuals with disabilities, often competing at Paralympic level. Safety, coordination, and core stability are key, with adaptations made to accommodate various functional abilities, enabling athletes to demonstrate skill, grace, and endurance on horseback.
