Vaulting is most often described as gymnastics on a horse. Therapeutic vaulting has all the known benefits of therapeutic riding, such as increased balance, coordination, strength, confidence, plus the added benefits of teamwork, trust, and creativity. The job of a vaulting spotter includes supervising activity, helping vaulters practice their moves, making basic positional corrections, leading strengthening drills and physically spotting the vaulter with dismounts etc. Volunteers with horse experience can be trained to lunge the horse, keeping it at a steady rhythm for vaulters, constantly reading the horse to prevent any mishaps from occurring.

Horse handlers are responsible for leading the horses for the riders during their lessons. This position is directly responsible for the safety of the rider and the horse at all times. To properly and safely lead the horse, a leader must keep their rider’s and side walker’s safety in mind by communicating with both the rider and side walker when necessary and following the instructor’s directions. You will help the student focus on the instructor’s cues, and aide the rider only when necessary by cueing the horse. Volunteers should always help to promote as much of the rider’s independence as possible. Leaders must pay attention, and always be aware of their surroundings and potential hazards (vehicles, other horses, other people, objects, etc.) and must act safely and accordingly.Establishing positive relationships with the riders, instructors, volunteers and other staff is a requirement of this position.

Side walkers are directly responsible for both the rider’s safety, as well as assisting the rider during their lesson. This position helps the student focus on the instructor’s cues, and aides the rider only when necessary. Volunteers should always help to promote as much of the rider’s independence as possible. Side walkers may sometimes be asked to help physically hold and balance a rider using a number of different side walking “holds” (to be taught at the training). Situations may also arise where an emergency dismount is required, upon which the side walker will perform such duties with the assistance and direction of the instructor and/or other volunteers.
