VA6 requires a maximum of how many lunging/vaulting sessions per equine per week?

The standard set by VA6 indicates that the maximum number of lunging or vaulting sessions per equine per week is six. This limit is established to ensure the welfare of the equines involved in these activities. Overexertion can lead to physical strain, mental fatigue, and increased risk of injury for the horses. By capping the sessions to six, the standard aims to promote humane treatment and allow adequate recovery time between workouts. This regulation supports the overall health of the equine while still allowing for sufficient training and development opportunities within the specified limit.
