Team Staff

Official website for Team GBR

Team GBR could not function without its ‘team behind the team’ who work behind the scenes, some of which work across all disciplines and some which specialise supporting a particular sport. A full team of people are constantly looking at human and horse sports science and medicine to give our athletes the best chance of success at elite level. We also have Team Managers for each discipline, a farrier, vet, doctor, psychologist, physiotherapists for both hoses and humans - to name but a few!

This team of people are very important to the success of Team GBR and you can meet some of them in this section and find out more about what they do.
