Vaulting is gymnastics on a horseback. See: http://www.americanvaulting.org for more information on vaulting. (Equestrian vaulting) Vaulting is an act of bravery and love for the sport. The basic components of vaulting are horses, and humans. Vaulting takes years of practice, and is amazing to watch. HISTORY: Vaulting started off with the Romans using it for military practice. It slowly came to America, and began being used in the US army, known as the "Monkey Drill"
In architecture, a vault is an arched structure of masonry, forming a ceiling or canopy.
But with the reintroduction of the groin vault, more light could be brought into the buildings: instead of building groin vaults as the intersection of two barrell vaults, the master masons simply built one long line of groin vaults.
In a self-supporting vault, the starting arches have to be built with scaffolding, but after that, the bricks or stone blocks interlock, permitting additions until the vault is complete.
