Equestrian Vaulting Designed by: red Hen Design, 517-548-9623, [email protected] 4 EquEstrianVaultinG | Fall 2010 From the President AVA communicAtion 101 his year, as our dedicated volunteers have worked hard to make sure “A place for everything. you’re “in the know,” some important pieces have fallen through the cracks, Tincluding a “cheat sheet” that details all of our various communication And everything in its place.” channels (smoke signals? a couple of tin cans and some string?). Which communication channel do we use for what purpose? Read on, and check out the --Benjamin Franklin chart in the “publications” section of the members only website for further details. AVA Blast: In early 2007 we created the AVA Blast, a twice a month email newsletter, to keep members up to date on the latest AVA happenings—in between issues of the magazine. The Blast serves a variety of functions: announcements and news that cannot wait for the next magazine issue (think deadline-oriented news such as a last call for Nationals entries, or breaking news such as a list of our recently elected board members or national champions); information on the latest AVA website additions (for example, our annual National Championships microsite, or the latest PDF issue of the magazine, way before it hits your mailbox) and lots of fun photos (whenever people contribute them). AVA Websites: Both the public and the members-only website have become important communication tools, and even more so, the one place where we can permanently deposit and store important information to make sure it doesn't get lost and forgotten in a box in someone’s garage. While the public website is meant to be very simple, and a place for the non-vaulting expert to go to learn a little more about vaulting (and how to start a vaulting program!), the AVA members-only website is a beast of its own, with a (now) working search function, an attached (and very complex) database, and increasing pages of content. In a perfect world, the members-only website is THE place to check for historical and current information (everything from results from all AVA recognized competitions from 2002 to our most recent Nationals Championships and AVA volunteer award winners, to members’ email addresses/ phone numbers, recent issues of the magazine, and even a historical database of who has been awarded which AVA medals and when!) In addition, some of our Regions' websites are now attached to our national website (look under Find a Club), for “one-stop shopping”! If you haven’t trolled around the members-only website recently, you’re missing out. AVA Magazine: With the release of version 3.0 of our non-profit’s longest-running communication tool this year, the new Equestrian Vaulting magazine became a quarterly publication with less “breaking news” (that’s the purview of the AVA Blast), fewer lists (competition results can now be found, mere days after an AVA competition, on the “results” page of the members-only website), and more feature articles that cover the entire scope of vaulting. Our goal is to cover USA vaulting in its entirety: beginning level to elite; recreational vaulting and competitive vaulting; vaulting for girls and boys, women and men; vaulting in every single region. AVA Forums: As part of the members-only website, we are also busy testing our members-only

  • Adapted Equestrian Vaulting at the Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association
    Adapted Equestrian Vaulting at the Cowichan Therapeutic Riding Association Equestrian vaulting is a gymnastic-type performance on a moving horse set to music, blending the traditions of dance and gymnastics with equestrian sport. Developed in postwar Germany as a means of introducing children to equestrian sport, vaulting has a well-established history in Europe and a strong following in the United States. Canada is beginning to grow the sport under VaultCanada – a discipline committee of Equine Canada (the national governing association for horse sport). Provincially, equestrian vaulting is managed by the Equestrian Vaulting Association of BC (EVA of BC). While not yet recognized as an Olympic sport, vaulting has been demonstrated at the 1984 and 1996 games and has been a component of the World Equestrian Games since 1990. The first full vaulting squad to represent Canada competed at the WEG in 2014. Unlike most riding in which the rider exerts primary influence on the horse’s “way of going” (speed, direction of travel, cadence, etc.), vaulting requires the horse to travel in a consistent circle (approximately 15-20 meters in diameter) controlled by a “lunger” (a trained equestrian positioned at the centre of the circle). A bridle or special lunging “cavesson” (headstall) and “lunge line” (long rope from headstall to handler) is used to communicate with the horse, replacing the action of reins. A specialized back pad and “surcingle” (a belly strap with hand grips and stirrup-like loops for the vaulter’s feet) is used instead of a saddle. Unlike traditional, independent equestrian disciplines, vaulters work in teams, assisting each other with maneuvers and creating a seamless multi-player aesthetic.
