A vaulting horse is a padded piece of gymnastics equipment used in the vault event, where athletes sprint down a runway, use a springboard to launch themselves toward the horse, and perform acrobatic moves before landing. The vaulting horse has a rectangular shape and is positioned at a low height, providing a stable platform for gymnasts to push off with speed and power. It helps improve balance, strength, and technique by allowing gymnasts to practice flips, twists, and other complex movements. The vaulting horse is commonly used in both training and competitions to develop precision and skill in gymnastics.

What is a "vaulting horse"?
A vaulting horse is a specially trained horse used in equestrian vaulting, where riders perform gymnastic movements while on the horse's back. It is typically trained to move in a consistent, controlled manner at a walk, trot, or canter. The horse’s role is to maintain a steady pace while the vaulter executes various poses, tricks, or routines. Vaulting horses are often trained specifically for this purpose to ensure they are calm, reliable, and able to carry out the movements required for safe and successful performances.
