In Developmental Vaulting, clients ride in specially designed handles and perform a variety of movements on the horse's back.  Movements include riding backwards, forwards, sideways on on their knees.  Each position is designed to improve specific muscle function.  Developmental Vaulting also improves focus, attention and confidence.  Lessons can be groups of up to four, or one-on-one private lessons.  Clients begin with the help of a leader and two sidewalkers and can progress to riding indendently on a line.
