Biography
Nicola is very passionate about endurance riding and rides at FEI level around the world.
She has had the privilege to represent Great Britain twice on her very successful arab gelding, LR Bold Greyson, who is a horse of a lifetime.
Based in mid Norfolk, she enjoys competing across the UK and Europe with her horses and has also traveled to Dubai twice which she admits was a huge challenge to take a horse from British winter and train them in the heat and the sands of the desert.
Nicola joined the board of Endurance GB in the capacity of Welfare and Quality Director at the end of 2016.

Biography
Caroline has been riding since she was two years old and was lucky enough to get her first horse, Misty, when she was eleven. Caroline had Misty for 27 years and is blessed to still have her granddaughter, Mistral, who qualified as a 3 * Endurance horse, and her 2 year old great grandson.
Caroline started Endurance about 12 years ago after being inspired when her father (Chris Baker) showed her the amazing photos of horses and riders going up Cougar Rock on the Tevis Cup 100 mile ride in California. Caroline’s father is still the highest placed UK rider to complete the Tevis, finishing in 7th place.
Caroline has been riding internationally for many years and enjoys the experiences gained riding in different countries on different horses over varied terrains. Caroline considers it to be an honour and a privilege to be part of Team GBR.

COLOUR: Grey
Biography
Annie initially started out as a wannabe eventer but only got to novice level. She quickly turned to endurance which ticked all the boxes for her as it required fitness, stamina, determination, family involvement and developing a unique bond with a horse over such long distances.
She started off with a thoroughbred ex-racehorse before moving to Arab horses. After a few tricky starts, she clicked with a horse she had on loan who took her to advanced level and second place in the National Championships.
Since then Annie has had several Arab horses for endurance, one of the most notable being Dilmun who took her to the World Equestrian Games in Normandy. She now has Fantom who has stepped out from Dilmun’s shadow and on whom she hopes to contest the 2017 European Championships.

Biography
Harry started endurance riding competitively in 2006, and since then has learnt an enormous amount that has allowed him to go on and move through the ranks. He is now the Vice Chairman of Endurance GB, and is a strong advocate for bringing the sport to more people, especially young people in the UK.
As he moved through the ranks he soon learnt that to compete at the top level you need a special horse. He has two advance endurance horses, who he manages to train and compete around his commitments.
Based in Surrey, Harry and his partner, ex-British team member Alice Beet, train their horses in and around the Surrey Hills. Perfect terrain for conditioning the equine athlete for stamina and endurance.
Harry never managed to break through as a young rider, but has recently had a number of very successful wins in the UK. Consolidated by well-placed rides in the top 20 abroad, Harry and Chayze are well prepared to take on the European Championships.
