Category Balance
(children aged 3-5)
El vaulting, también conocido como volteo es la disciplina con la que empezamos cualquier rama de la Equitación, consiste en hacer gimnasia artística arriba de un caballo, allí se trabaja todo lo relacionado con la confianza, la seguridad, la concentración y capacidad de atención abajo del caballo y motricidad.
La disciplina consiste en que un instructor direcciona, con una cuerda y en un círculo al caballo mientras los niños van realizando los ejercicios encima del caballo, de esta manera proporcionamos al jinete y a los padres seguridad para una buena introducción al deporte. Recibimos alumnos de los 3 años en adelante.
Transition Category
(children)
Es el nivel intermedio entre Silla y Volteo, se desarrollan las habilidades básicas de control de la dirección del caballo, control de la velocidad, postura equilibrio y balance, buscando la independencia de el jinete, las clases son más lúdicas y se realizan en Ponys. En este nivel buscamos estabilizar el nivel de confianza del jinete sobre el caballo, pero ahora de forma individual siendo el jinete el único dueño de la conducción y manejo de su caballo. En esta etapa, es de suma importancia el grado de constancia y responsabilidad clase a clase ya que de esto depende un buen proceso y una constante evolución en cuanto a la capacidad de entender órdenes del instructor y llevarlas a cabo de manera precisas con el caballo.
Es indispensable para el comienzo de esta nueva categoría traer contigo para cada entrenamiento, un casco a la medida, para proteger tu cabeza de cualquier golpe o accidente que pueda llegarse a presentar, leggings o Breeches y botas de plástico largas de Equitación. Todo esto para mayor seguridad y tranquilidad ahora que tú eres el propio piloto de tu nave.
Category Chair
(children/adults)
The saddle level is the most advanced level in basic instruction. It seeks to develop and perfect the skills acquired in Transition, adding greater technical demands. Work is done on developing the rider's sensitivity, while also perfecting their technique.
At the saddle level, the main objectives are: balance and equilibrium, body posture, and guiding the horse through the use of aids, which are the language riders use to communicate with horses. The aim is to develop good athletic performance, but also aesthetically correct performance.
