The equestrian sport of vaulting

The FEI World Equestrian Games, created in 1990 are held every four years and are by far the largest equestrian event. In 2014, the Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games™ 2014 in Normandy will be host to 8 World Championships, one of which is Vaulting

Vaulting is practiced in teams or separately as individuals. Vaulters must perform a number of compulsory figures followed by a freestyle program with a musical accompaniment. The horse, guided by a longuer, gallops around a 15m wide circle. The horse is equipped with a surcingle with metal rings that act as points of support for performing figures.

The WEG competition involves Team and Individual Competitions

Competition dates;   Tuesday 2nd September – Friday 5th September
