Vaulting Lessons
Horses, dancing, gymnastics, and fun: if you love even one of these four things, then WE WANT YOU to join our equestrian vaulting team! Vaulting began as a sport in the USA over 35 years ago and it has grown to become one of the nation's most exciting and creative sports.
Vaulting combines dance and gymnastics atop a moving horse and it's a wonderful way to develop coordination, balance, strength, and creativity while working in harmony with the horse.
Dreamswept Farm has its very own equestrian vaulting team: The Mountain Wind. We offer on-site lessons right at the farm, as well as lessons two days a week at our vaulting club's home base in Newport, WA.
If you're considering vaulting and you'd like to know more about it, we encourage you to visit this FAQ from the American Vaulting Association.
Please Note: Vaulting lessons are available for adults and for children 4 years old and above. Lessons can be one-on-one or with groups of up to four people.

- Current documentation for worming, vaccines, and Coggins testing must be on file for all horses boarding at our facility.
- Horses boarding at Dreamswept Farm will be required to have a veterinary exam and any necessary dental care once yearly. Clients can arrange this through a veterinarian of your choice or through Echo Ridge Veterinary, Dreamswept Farm's veterinarian, as part of a yearly routine farm call, which will reduce the client's cost for the veterinary visit.
