BASIC
SEAT 2
Build
up exercise
Clapping in rhythm with horse.
 Method
- Vaulter sits with long
legs as in previous example.
- Ask the vaulter to clap in
time with the rhythm of the horse.
- Do this for four strides or until the vaulter feels the correct movement.
- Hands are then placed onto the grips simultaneously
Tips
- A vaulter may loose their
balance when they first let go of the grips. Ask them to do this slowly
and to lean back if they begin to bounce.
- Some may try gripping with their knees to maintain
balance, ask them to relax their legs down and absorb movement through
hips.
- If a vaulter cannot feel
the rhythm of the horse, count out loud with them to help them
understand this.
