Region IX Championships will be held June 26-28, 2025 at the Virginia Horse Center in Lexington, VA

Vaulting is gymnastics and dance on a moving horse and can be practiced both competitively or non-competitively. Its origins stretch back at least two-thousand years. It is one of the ten equestrian disciplines recognized by the FEI. Therapeutic or interactive vaulting is also used as an activity for children and adults to develop balance, attention, gross motor skills and social skills.

Region IX includes vaulting teams along the entire East Coast

OUR MISSION: Region IX Equestrian Vaulting is a 501 c(3) non-profit organization which serves the equestrian vaulting community throughout the East Coast of the United States. The mission is to facilitate an environment that encourages compassion for horses, promotes teamwork through a positive and encouraging environment, and develops self confidence, responsibility, courage, and discipline in members.

An entirely volunteer based organization works tirelessly to provide a positive equestrian experience to youth and adults. Inclusive of all abilities or challenges, our goal is to foster the development of each vaulter through a relationship with team members and their equestrian partners (the team horse!).

REGION IX EDUCATIONAL GRANTS

Region IX collects a per vaulter fee at all competitions held within the Region. The collection of this fee was suspended during the COVID pandemic/recovery but reinstituted in 2023.

REGION IX IS NOW OFFERING A GRANT PROGRAM TO DISTRIBUTE THE REGIONAL COMPETITION FEES TO PROMOTE EDUCATIONAL ACTIVITIES WITHIN THE REGION. EVUSA Fundraising designated money to the Region plus money raised by TEV at the Regional Tack Sale will be used during 2023 to fund this program. The total money which will be allotted this year is $1550. 2023 applications are due on Oct 1 and will be announced on Oct 21st.

The Board members recognize that equestrian vaulting, similar to other equestrian disciplines, faces a decrease in active participants and the challenge of developing new and expanding teams. The health of our sport depends upon building a strong base of entry level vaulters that will support movement into EVUSA, USEF, and FEI levels. In some areas of the Region, there is a need to increase awareness of the value of equestrian vaulting. We sincerely hope that these funds will encourage and help fund educational activities throughout the Region.
