EQUESTRIAN PROGRAMS

We offer specialty programs for the equestrians in our community, and beyond. With Equestrian Vaulting and Riding being a passion for us for the past 27+ years, we offer a range of programs to help you reach your goals - big or small!

Equestrian Fitness Programs - Upon Request!

If you’re looking to strengthen your body to get the most out of your riding, this is a great program to join. Extra focus will be on developing core strength, stability and balancing the whole body, so that you can get the most out of your riding!

High Performance Vaulting Track

This customized program will vary per individual, depending on your goals. Private lessons (mounted and/or barrel), skill sessions and conditioning programming. This program is aimed at those looking to reach National, International and World Championship level ability.

Private Vaulting Lessons - Barrel

Barrel lessons are available as private or semi-private lessons. These are extremely beneficial and very popular to use in addition to your group lessons at MCVC to further your training. We all know that mastering the foundational movements will help you excel at vaulting, and the barrel lessons will allow for one-on-one time to achieve these before applying your skills on the horse

Private Vaulting Lessons - Mounted

Mounted lessons on our horses are available as private or semi-private lessons. These are most often used in addition to your group lessons at MCVC to further your training, or to focus on specific goals.

Private Vaulting Lessons - on YOUR horse

Bring your own horse for your lesson! You don’t need to be a member at CCPT or MCVC to take advantage of our training opportunities. We simply enjoy working with all vaulters that have goals to work towards, and we would love to help you get there!

Cross-Training Classes for Vaulting - coming soon!

We offer a mix of gymnastics, conditioning, circus and flexibility classes to supplement your vaulting training. All vaulters welcome!

Vaulting Horse Training Program

We can train your vaulting horse for you! We can start your horse from day one, or we can help you find a horse, to build up to your program needs. We have been training vaulting horses for over 15 years, and we have very experienced vaulters who will start on your horse to give them the best possible introduction.

Open Vault

We offer Open Vault sessions in the barrel/cross-training area several times per week for you to practice at your own pace. Open to members and non-members of our vaulting programs. Our equipment includes a MOVIE (moving barrel), stationary barrel, gymnastic mats, lots of cross-training equipment (balls, blocks, ropes etc).
