Los Angeles Equestrian Vaulting Club

Founded by Coach Blake Dahlgren in September of 2011. The Los Angeles Equestrian Vaulting Club (LAEVC), is a nationally competitive sports program incorporating dance and gymnastics on the back of a moving horse. Our current LAEVC vaulters range in age from 6 to 28 and compete regionally, nationally and worldwide as individuals, pairs (called pas-de-deux) and teams. Our youngest athletes practice and compete at the walk gait and progress to trot, and canter, based on strength, height, and ability to mount and perform on the horse. LAEVC members have gained national recognition both in individual and team competitions.

LAEVC's Competitive Vaulting Program Offers training by Coach Blake Dahlgren and assistant coach Rebecca Herrera for vaulters who want to be competitive at a National and World Class Level of Excellence. Our competitive vaulting program provides each member the opportunity to compete in all LAEVC competitions, demos, and outings throughout the year. Competitive members receive priority on horse use in competitions, at practice, and in demos/exhibitions and learn proper horsemanship to manage the needs of their equine team member.

LAEVC competitive vaulting classes are held year-round and are designed to help members reach their highest competitive goals and be their personal best. It also fosters in each vaulter the qualities necessary to improve themselves as athletes, teammates, and individuals. LAEVC 's vaulting program inspires creativity, builds strength and coordination, trust and self-confidence, and offers participants the opportunity to develop relationships with their peers and feel empowered and accepted.
