The "Circular Movie"

(also known as Rundlauf)

The most advanced training tool available for vaulters - a horse simulator on a track: endless training opportunities to facilitate learning and skill development.

Imagine of Circular Movie at CCPT!

The "Movie"

The Movie is a horse simulator in a stationary area. This technology helps vaulters learn and master their vaulting skills with canter motion prior to learning the skill on a live horse. This helps confidence and makes training on the horses more efficient and effective.

Winter 2026 Trainers

Kathrin Meyer

Kathrin started vaulting in 2005, and quickly rose through the ranks in German vaulting circles, known for her precision and artistry.

She was crowned 2021 World Champion in Team, 2023 European Individual Champion and is a 3x World Cup Final winner in 2023, 2024 and 2025: becoming the first woman to win back-to-back titles. "Vaulting is more than sport - it's harmony between horse and human".

Ava ‘Bunny’ Mabel is an ex-professional acrobat, traumatic brain injury survivor and entrepreneur.
She has been involved in athletics and art her whole life; training in gymnastics since the age of two. At 14 years old, Ava retired from competition after receiving numerous local, national, and international titles.
