Liz has been involved in endurance riding since the late 1970's, when she started competing on a friend's horse. She was a member of the British team on three occasions winning team silver at Florac, individual silver in Germany and team gold at the first World Equestrian Games in Stockholm.

She was first appointed Chef d'Equipe of the British team in 1995 when the team won the European championships in Morlaix, France. Liz has been Chef d'Equipe for a further ten championships, including the World Equestrian Games in Kentucky.

Liz is a 4* FEI judge and technical delegate, officiating in a number of countries and was President of the Ground Jury at the 2012 World Championships at Euston Park.

Before competing in endurance, Liz used to compete mainly in show jumping. She started up what is now EGB Cheshire group in 1991 and has been Chairman for many years. Liz was also Chairman of the British Endurance Riding Association and was very involved in the merging of BERA and the EHPS to form EGB.

Vet - Hannah Kelly

Hannah has been involved with EGB since 2002 when as a newly qualified vet she was asked, by a client, to vet at a local Iceni group ride. The rest they say is history and she is now an FEI 4* endurance vet and an FEI 3* endurance treatment vet which has involved invitations to many places in Europe and the Middle East. In 2012 Hannah became the assistant vet for the British Endurance team at the World Championships at Euston Park and went on to become the team vet for the Europeans in the Czech Republic in 2013 and the World Equestrian Games in Normandy, France in 2014.

Hannah also owns and runs a private first opinion mixed veterinary practice from her farm in Norfolk and achieved her post graduate certificate in Equine Practice in 2012. Any spare time is taken up by her two ex racehorses competing in Evening, though do look out for her at Iceni or ADR pleasure rides in the winter months and soon her son Jack may be accompanying her on his lead rein pony!
