A surcingle is a MUST for vaulting, it simply cannot be done without one. All vaulting surcingles have handles (which may vary in shape) however some surcingles have straps that allow you to put your feet in them and do more freestyle movements. A good place to buy a surcingle specifically for vaulting would be Pegasus Vaulting Supply. Go to their website and they have everything you'll need besides a horse!
