Vaulting buck
Vaulting box

A vaulting-buck, also known as a buck horse, is a gymnastics apparatus that consists of a heavy block of wood, upholstered and covered with leather, that is mounted on four sturdy legs about 1 to 1.5 meters high. The legs are usually individually adjustible such that the vaulting-buck can also be slanting. Modern vaulting-bucks are sometimes covered with synthetic materials instead of leather.

A vaulting buck is like a short version of a vaulting horse and used a lot in PE (Physical Education). For example, students are trained to hurdle onto a springboard and leap over the apparatus, with their legs spread or together, with or without using their hands.

Use for spanking

A vaulting buck can also be used as an item of spanking furniture for a bent-over-object position, similar to a birching horse. In some schools in the 19th and 20th century, vaulting-bucks were used for that purpose, usually for the administration of canings.

Often, a second student was instructed to hold the delinquent's hands during such a punishment.
