Golden Bay's very own Vaulting Team
Did you know Golden Bay is home to the South Island's premier vaulting team?
The 'Hack Vaulties' club first came together in 2015 under the guidance of Baerbel Hack with the aim of making horse riding accessible to riders from all walks of life - regardless of their financial means or prior experience.
Since then, they have been offering the Golden Bay community awe-inspiring theatrical performances on horseback at a number of large local shows and have recently been invited to perform and host a series of vaulting workshops at Equifest - New Zealand's largest equine event.
Vaulting is an equestrian discipline at the intersection between dance and gymnastics expressed on a moving horse. With a focus on personal development in a team environment, the Hack Vaulties club empowers young riders (from 7y/o up to 17y/o) to safely develop their confidence, balance, coordination, and teamwork as they prepare for performances of breathtaking feats of gymnastic prowess, on horseback beautifully set to music.
