Congratulations to the Sportin Wales team of the month for October, sponsored by Prichards: Talygarn Vaulters!

Age range

About us

The club started in 2012 with 9 vaulters and one horse. Now we have approximately 25 vaulters, 4 competitive horses and an additional 2 horses we use for training.

Former club members, Carys Morgan and Tayla Alexander both went on to compete internationally and represent GB abroad. Over the years we have achieved many British and Welsh Champions.

One of my proudest moments was to see Josh, a para vaulter, compete at the British Championships in 2017.

What’s next

At the moment, we have a display coming up then the Welsh Championships in North Wales followed by the British Championships in Cheshire mid-October so we are all very busy practicing.
