Although everyone in the vaulting hall loves the horses that walk around there, there is also some criticism of the sport from the outside world. Is vaulting really animal-friendly? Don’t the horses feel too much of it? Coach Cynthia understands those concerns. She thinks that everyone is entitled to an opinion, but that you have to know how it really works. “Yes, the horse feels that we are performing tricks on it, that is why the trick is to do it with it and not get in its way. Because believe me, if you get in a horse’s way and you do things that are annoying to it, it will let you know.”
Not only gymnastics on, but also with the horse: this is vaulting
