When I was at school,I had gymnastics lessons and one event was vaulting the wooden horse or pony. It had a triangular shape and the top was padded. It was about 4-5ft high and about 4-5ft long. I had to take a run at it from about 20ft then jump to reach the end of the horse to leap over it,and we always had the gym instructor to catch us.

Well, its a wooden box-type thing, often with different sections to change the height. You run up to it and use either a springboard or a trampteete ho give you extra height. The top is about 4ftx1ft and the height depends on which level. Usually about 5-6ft.

It is like a tan colored table which has a spring board in front of it. In order to do it, you have to run down the runway and jump onto the springboard and your momentum and power will give you the strength to flip over the vault. This is an event that both women and men do.
