Equestrian vaulting , or just vaulting , most commonly described as gymnastics and dancing on horses, which can be practiced both on a competitive and non-competitive basis. Vaulting has history as an act of horse riding in a circus, but its origins stretch for at least two thousand years. It is open to men and women and is one of the ten horse disciplines recognized by the International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FÃÆ' Â © dationation of questing Internationale or FEI ). Therapeutic or interactive dome is also used as an activity for children and adults who may have balance, attention, gross motor skills or social deficits.
Vaulting fans are concentrated in Europe and other parts of the Western world. It is well established in Germany and Switzerland and thrives in other western countries. Vaulting was first introduced in the United States in the 1950s and 60s but limited only to California and other areas on the west coast. Recently, it's starting to gain popularity in the northeastern United States.

History
It is believed by some that the origin of the dome can be traced to ancient Roman games, where acrobats usually show their skills on horses' horses. Others, however, believe that the dome originated in ancient Crete, where spikes are common. In both cases, people have performed acrobatic and dance-like moves on (or more) horseback/animal moves for over 2,000 years.
The Renaissance and Medieval History include many references to dome or similar activity. The name of the sport/art is derived from French "la voltige", which he obtained during the Renaissance, when it was a form of riding and agility for cavalry riders.
Modern dome developed in postwar Germany as an initiative to introduce children to equestrian sport.
In 1983, the dome became one of the disciplines recognized by FEI. The first European Championships were held in Ebreichsdorf, Austria in 1984, and the first FEI Vaulting world championships were held in Bulle, Switzerland in 1986. Vaulting was included in the World Equestrian Games in Stockholm in 1990 and in all subsequent editions of the game. It was shown as an art during the 1984 and 1996 Olympic Games. It has been included in the Inter-African Cup since 2006.
The first Vaulting World Cup competition was held in Leipzig on 29-30 April 2011.

Competitive dome
In a competitive leap, vaulters compete as individuals, couples (pas-de-deux) and teams. Starting pole vaults compete when walking or running while an experienced dome competes in the canter. The dome horse moves in a 15-meter circle and is directed by a lunger (or "longeur") that stands in the middle. In a competitive dome, riders and horses will both be scored on a scale ranging from 1 to 10.
The Vault Competition consists of compulsory training and free-style choreography exercises performed for music. There are seven required exercises: mount, base chair, flag, milling, scissors, stand and pelvis. Each exercise is rated on a scale from 0 to 10. Horses also receive scores and are judged on the quality of their movements and their behavior.
Vaulters compete in teams and individual freestyles (formerly known as Kur). The individual cur is a 1 minute free style and the team is 4 minutes away. Both are choreographed to music. The components of the freestyle dome routine may include mountains and descend, handstands, kneeling and standing and air movements such as leaps, jumps and falling skills. However, many of these skills are only seen at the highest level. Typical routines for children or beginners will be more likely to contain variations on kneels and simple boards. The team also carries, lifts, or even throws other jumpers in the air. Judging is based on techniques, performance, shape, difficulties, balance, security, and horse considerations; The horse is judged.
Horse horses are not burdened but wear a surcingle (or roller) and a thick backing pad. Surcingle has a special handle that helps buoys in performing certain movements as well as a leather loop called "stirrup cossack". The horse was wearing a bridle and a bridle. The lunge line is usually attached to the inner bit circle.
The domed horses usually move on the left (counterclockwise), but in some competitions, the stables are in the other direction. The two-phase class competition also works the horse to the right. While many European clubs are not competing to the right, they still work at home equally both ways, believing this benefits horse and jumper.
The main dome competitions are the biennial World and Continental Championships and World Equestrian Games (WEG) held every four years. In many countries, the vaulted association organizes and sponsors national, regional and local events each year. In 2011 there are at least 24 countries with such organizations.
Competition movement
Vaulter performs movement behind horse. Novice and early vaulter can perform on the road or run while higher levels of vaulters perform in canters. There are compulsory exercises and depending on the jumping class perform seven or eight of them:
Computing is done in succession in the order above, without pause or descend.
Dress code
The International Federation for Equestrian Sports (FEI) regulates the competitive dress code for the dome. Every 2-3 years, new guidelines are released, which consistently state that the vaulter should wear a uniform fit of shape that does not hide the buoy lines and shapes, nor does it impede the movement of jumpers or safe interactions between vaulters. For that reason, accessories such as belts, robes or hats are prohibited. In addition, men's trousers should be secured in the ankles. It is expected that the clothes are suitable for the competition and do not provide the effect of nudity. The most common form-fitting uniforms worn by vaulter are unitards.
Non-competitive vaulting
In addition to competition, the dome is a form of art, recreation and entertainment. Vaulters range from 7 to 30 years old and older, practicing individual and team skills and routines. The youngest athlete begins on a walking and forward step to run, and canter, based on strength, height, and ability to ride and perform on horseback.
Vaulting is used at the therapeutic level in some cases. People with disabilities often benefit from interacting with horses and team members, and by performing simple movements with the help of "complainants".
Dome is often seen at the recreation level, through "demonstrations" of domes, and sometimes in local parades.
