Vaulting at Contessa

March 2009 saw the official launch of the Contessa Vaulting Club. Vaulting sessions run every Saturday from 12.30pm - 2pm, and cost £15 per session, this cost is reduced to £12.50 per session for members when paying for 5 sessions in advance (£62.50 for 5) We allow vaulters to have 4 'taster sessions' before we insist that they must become British Equestrian Vaulting (BEV) members. this costs £10 per year

An exciting and very different equestrian discipline, vaulting is an excellent way to develop balance, co-ordination and suppleness, as well as promoting teamwork and communication.

There are many opportunities for vaulters to take part in competitions, and to gain their achievement badges. We have our first competitors taking part in freestyle and pairs competitions, and aim to work towards building a team to represent Contessa's Vaulting Club in future competitions.

In August 2009 three of our regular vaulters participated in the English Vaulting Championships, and competed in the individual and pairs freestyle competitions. They gained two 3rds and a 4th - an excellent result for their first competition
