Vaulting?!

[gymnast4life94]

I have been in gymnastics since i can remember and i have also been riding horses since i can remember, do you think it would be a good idea to do vaulting (gymnastics on a horse)? I have looked at my schedule and i have time for it but i would like advice from coaches if i do this is there anything that could happen to prevent me from competeing in gymnastics again? and any gytmnasts that may have at one time done vaulting or thought about doing it! thanks so much!

I think the thing most gymnastics coaches would be worried about is you getting injured doing it. Otherwise, it should be great practice for your balance. I'm sure you'd love it - I had a friend in high school who was on the national vaulting team and as an ex-gymnast she really enjoyed it.
