At Horses of the Sun in Vars, they ofer Voltige is a combination of gymnastics and acrobatics on horseback. The voltigeurs learn gymnastic, artistic, and flexibility exercises on the ground, on a practice barrel, and on the horse in the walk and canter. The horse moves in a circle at the end of the longe-line, controlled entirely by the longeur in the centre. Voltige is an activity that can be enjoyed by children (age 7 and older), teenagers, and adults. No previous riding or gymnastic experience is necessary to learn and enjoy Voltige, however, it offers gymnasts the opportunity to pursue and expand their training for recreational and/or competitive purposes even into young adulthood. Lessons are developed through a systematic training process, whereby students from the beginner to the advanced level progress at their own rate. Lessons are on-going, and after an initial assessment, the new student will be placed in a class according to his/her age and ability. Gift certificate valid in May or June 2021 (though the expiry date may be flexible to accommodate COVID-19 restrictions).
