Vault (gymnastics)

The Vault, formerly known as Vaulting Horse is a Artistic_Gymnastics apparatus. It is used by male as well as female Gymnasts. The Vault changed in 2002 to a Vaulting Table.

Dimensions


The term vaulting horse may also be used literally. There is an offshoot of equestrianism which uses a specially trained live horse. Competitors perform a one to two minute dance/gymnastics routine on the back of their horses either solo or in pairs or trios. This is an adaptation of the horseback performers you may have seen at the circus.
