Abstract
The training pad for a gymnastic vaulting horse has a first elongated pad with a vertical height substantially equal to the height of the body of the vaulting horse. A second elongated pad has a vertical height substantially equal to the combined height of the body and the supporting stand of the vaulting horse. An elongated flexible blanket has its opposite sides connected to the first and second pads and is adapted to engage and span the lateral width of the top of the body of the vaulting horse. Straps are secured to the pad for attachment of the pad to the body of the vaulting horse. The length of the pad is slightly less than the length of the body of the vaulting horse.
