Vaulting is the spectacular sport of gymnastics performed on a moving horse. It is one of the equestrian disciplines recognized by the Fédération Equestre Internationale (FEI) for international competition and the United States Equestrian Federation (USEF) nationally. Participants are judged on compulsory moves, and in freestyle competition. With a history extending back to Roman cavalry training, vaulting requires the teamwork of the vaulter, horse and longeur. It is one of the few sports worldwide where men and women compete on the same team.

Vaulting is a magnificent sport and a wonderful learning opportunity for all ages from toddlers to adults. Therapeutic vaulting is the wonderful sport of vaulting, adapted to help people with various physical, emotional, and cognitive challenges achieve their potential.  With the help of the well-trained and consistent horses at Atlantis Farm, vaulters develop balance, coordination, flexibility, strength, confidence, muscle tone, memory, teamwork, music interpretation, and much more!

The Mile High Vaulters were founded by Jodi Rinard and her Percheron mare, Peaches, in 2002 when they moved to Colorado. Jodi is a silver medal vaulter and has been coaching and competing as a member of the AVA since 1987. Peaches received AVA horse number "1" when the AVA first assigned numbers and proudly carried it until she passed away in 2005. The AVA agreed to transfer that number to Peaches' only foal, Amidala, who vaults with us today.
