We are equestrian vaulters...

What is vaulting?

Vaulting means gymnastics/acrobatics on a galloping horse. Up to three people can be on a horse at the same time. The whole thing is supported by music that is tailored to a specific theme, as is the leotard. For us, the aim is always to feel the horse’s gallop and to make the best possible use of it or to compensate for it. In addition, vaulting is never an individual sport. This means that even in individual vaulting, you always form a team consisting of horse, lunger and vaulter.

What makes us stand out...

We are passionate athletes and vaulters and our community, cohesion and consistency in the sport is unique…

Why are we doing equestrian vaulting...

The special thing about the sport is, of course, the horse component. From a purely sporting point of view, we really enjoy using the power of the horse’s gallop for our exercises or balancing it out. It’s an incredible feeling to run alongside the horse, grab the handles and, with the right technique, be in handstand on the galloping horse within two seconds. It is also the most versatile sport we know. It is not enough to be strong and agile, a sense of rhythm and above all creativity also play an essential role. A certain talent for acting is also helpful in top-class sport.

But it’s not just the sport itself that keeps us in it, but especially the people who practice it. We can travel in any direction and, in an emergency, we can knock on a friend’s door in the middle of the night and be received with open arms…

Our history

Vik Brüsewitz started vaulting in 1998 and soon joined the Pegasus Garbsen vaulting club. His early successes led him to the first team and to individual vaulting. His brother Tommy followed him into the sport, trained by Lars Hansen.

After differences within the team, they switched to the Rittergut Habighorst equestrian sports association. Here they achieved further successes under new management. The brothers were honored in various competitions, including state championships and European championships.

The brothers thank their coaches, horse owners and parents for their support. Their sporting journey was characterized by hard work, team spirit and success in vaulting.

Our Partner

Böckmann vehicles

Böckmann is our youngest “brother”. We are currently generously provided with two horse trailers with all the bells and whistles. We think it’s particularly cool that they were open to producing two trailers in our design right away! When we met managing director Klaus Böckmann, great parallels emerged. We three Brüsewitz Brüder are basically market leaders in men’s individual vaulting, to use Jessica Lichtenberg’s (Neuss) words. Just like Böckmann Fahrzeugwerke GmbH in Germany. In addition, the brand is carried into the world by the four Böckmann brothers. Whether in breeding, competitive sport or vehicle manufacturing, the recipe for success lies in the family roots, just as it does in our brotherhood!
