About Valley View Vaulters

       Valley View Vaulters is a non-profit organization founded in 1980, and located in two different areas of Southern California...north of Los Angeles in Lake View Terrace, and south of Los Angeles in Long Beach at Rancho Rio Verde.

       Vaulting is a world class sport, international in scope, which combines gymnastics and the skill of horseback riding. Vaulting is fun and beneficial for everyone, of any age, and any skill level – and is highly therapeutic for the handicapped and those with special needs. Valley View takes pride in teaching vaulting to any person, of any age, and any ability. By vaulting together we build teamwork, physical strength, coordination, discipline and self confidence.

      Valley View Vaulters is a sporting organization that uses horses as a tool to develop the best in our students. By "best" we mean not only physical power, coordination and stamina, but team spirit and a greater feeling of self-worth. Classes teach specific compulsory exercises which lead to advanced free-style performances called “kürs.” All our vaulters (including our handicapped and special needs students) have the opportunity to participate in competitions to compare their performances with the abilities of others of similar abilities. There are numerous opportunities to participate in local parades and demonstrations.

      Valley View is proud to be the American Vaulting Association’s 2002 National Trot Team Champions, and home of the Men’s AVA National Trot Champion and Reserve Trot Champion.
