Guy's drive, dedication, and determination energize the entire team at Willow Tree Farm. His extensive experience includes competing at the 2004 Olympics, FEI World Cup Finals, World Equestrian Games, Young Rider Finals, International competitions, as well as a multitude of Grand Prix.
The philosophy that Guy employs for coaching juniors and amateurs alike is helping and encouraging, rather than dictating and demanding. This methodology has proven to be quite successful as measured by results. Guy Thomas is well known on the West Coast horse show circuit for the total effort he gives every time he rides a horse or coaches a student. Guy's natural ability, deep understanding of a horse's mechanics and mind, and his competitive nature are demonstrated by his successful career as a professional. He is always willing to assist fellow riders and trainers. His record of success and the record of successes of those he has coached speak for themselves. |
