Guy Thomas (born 30 August 1977) is a New Zealand equestrian. His speciality is show jumping, either individually or as part of a team.
Guy Thomas was born 30 August 1977 in Burson, California, the son of Graeme "Butch" Thomas and Lu Thomas, both former international riders.[1]
Guy Thomas grew up in a riding family. His parents, Graeme "Butch" and Lu Thomas, are highly successful riders and trainers, both having competed in the FEI World Cup Finals. Guy was a natural rider from the time he started riding at the age of two and a half. During his upbringing, rather than exerting pressure to join the family business, his parents pledged their support for whatever life path Guy ultimately chose to pursue.[2]
