Don’t miss the vaulters on Blue Peter

The British vaulting team will be live on children’s television show Blue Peter on Tuesday (21 September) on BBC1.

Presenter Helen Skelton took up the challenge of learning to vault earlier this year, for a Blue Peter show.

After three weeks of coaching, she was part of the team that won a British Equestrian Vaulting (BEV) affiliated competition at Moulton College, Northamptonshire in April.

A nine-minute clip of Ms Skelton’s training and competition will be included in the show and the British vaulting team, and their horse, will chat to presenters in the Blue Peter garden.

The British vaulting team will be competing at the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky, from 6 October.
