 Vaulting
Weekends
For
those that are interested in working on their vaulting skills year
around, Cedar Lodge has devised a weekend just for you! Weekends will
be divided into morning and afternoon 2-3 hour segments. Evenings on
Friday and Saturday will have activity times as well. For those
that are interested riding, we will offer a free ride (not
instructional, but supervised) for Saturday afternoon from 5:00-6:00,
at no additional cost. Please keep in mind that: Cedar Lodge vaulting
clinics are geared towards the serious vaulter. Vaulting will be the
primary, or only activity that will be happening during your stay. The
time will be spent working out routines that could be used in
competition and refining compulsories. If you are not a die hard, do or
die vaulter, these weekends may not be for you! Beginners are welcome
as long as they are motivated to excel in their vaulting. 
Vaulting weekends 2010:Vaulting weekends in Spring of 2010 will be scheduled as interest is shown. Please contact us if you're interested.

 Clothing
requirements:
Please keep in mind that these clothes
requirements will hold for all fall, winter and spring clinics
and pack according to the season that you choose to participate
in.
Shoes: Tennis shoes will no longer
work well for what we will be having you do on the barrel and
moving horse. If you are not planning on ever competing, a Black
Split Sole jazz Slippers, cost around 20.00 will do. These
slippers are lace up, with a 3/8” heel, tread on sole.
Brand Name of the one that we have been buying is Capezio. If you
are thinking of maybe someday competing, you can get vaulting
competition shoes for around 5.00 more from Pegasus Vaulting
supplies. Their web site is: http://www.pvsupply.net/vaultingshoes.html. Please contact them if you
have question about size.
 Pants: Cotton, flesh and many
materials cause unneeded friction when you are trying to move
your legs on the barrel and horse. Running tights/pants (black
only if you are now purchasing) or any type of an athletic
polyester/nylon blend, tight fitting (so they won’t bunch
or ride up) with some spandex in them should work best.
Additionally, a pair of loose fitting sweat pants or snow pants
to slip on and off (without taking off your shoes) will be good
in-between your practice times to keep you warm, weather
dictated.
Shirt: A sports bra or sports top
with several close fitting layers over. Bulky sweatshirts and
sweaters will have to be removed when working on barrel and
horse, as they are cumbersome and a coach cannot look at the
contours of your arms and back if they cannot seem them.
Additionally, they should not drop much below your waist and
certainly should not cover your hips. Again, warm jacket to slip
on over clothes in between work outs. 100 weight polyester, or
smart wool sport type tops are light weight and layer well under
a down or parka type jacket for warm and wind resistance.
 Gloves: No mittens, gloves only. No
ski gloves. Something that you can grip handles with and has a
good amount of dexterity, if you can ride in it well, you can
vault in it. Again, when we get into very cold weather, you may
find a pair of liners with a thick pair of gloves or mittens
while waiting, a good choice.
Hair: If it is longer than you
shoulders, you need to tie it up.
Hats: Since vaulting cannot be done
with a helmet, either a close fitting winter beanie hat, or head
band would be advisable. It will do a lot to keep you warm.
Uhhhhh.....don't worry, we'll give them SOME
time to sleep!
