Tennyson - Zoe's new dream!
Not for sale.
We focus on temperament!
Our Vision
To use our natural training methods, tempered with lots of love and good old-fashioned common sense, to raise and train "polite Canadians" for horse lovers anywhere.
Guys'Acres is operated by
husband and wife team, Gerry Guy and Zoe Brooks.
We share an innate love of horses.
Each brings a unique innate talent to this dream.
Gerry is "head of the
herd", and teaches the horses to respect people. We both do round pen
training. Gerry is first in the saddle. It's Zoe on the web site.
Our Values
We believe in
open honest natural two-way communication
with our horses and our clients.
We use a
natural individualized approach
to training each horse.
We listen
closely to our clients to learn
what you are looking for in a horse.
We only sell
our horses to homes
where they will be loved.
And most of all ... we have fun!
We
raise and train horses
to be respectful,
eager to learn and
delighted to please.
We hope to see them all
go to homes where they
will become lifelong soul-mates.

See some stories
and photos
from the early days at Guy's Acres,
before Gerry and Zoe "went nurtural", and
read the misadventures of the early days at the much outdated
Guys Acres web site.
Gerry is "head of the herd",
and teaches the horses to respect people.
Gerry is a very natural horseman.
He is one of those rare and fortunate souls who are born with an innate
understanding of horses. It is a pleasure to watch the calmness he can
bring to a training session - or the intensity if that is required.
Our son Eric is an
intuitive horseman.
Eric was 14 when we moved to the farm and he got his first horse, Suzy.
At age 15, Eric took six weeks of lessons and then jumped fault-free at the
Massey Fair. From then on, if it didn't jump high or run fast, a horse
was hardly worth riding. He has strength, balance, agility, talent,
competence and confidence - all those traits the rest of us strive so
hard to attain!
It's Zoe on
the web site,
and often in the round pen.
I have loved horses for as long as I can remember. I guess I was never a very natural rider; as a kid I was thrown off everything from a Shetland to a workhorse. But that did not deter my from growing up with the dream of living on a farm and owning horses. Thanks to my darling husband, that childhood dream came true in 1997.
I treasure
every moment with our horses. I have learned SO MUCH, especially since we started doing natural training.
I grin from ear to ear every time a horse comes to the centre of the round
pen and follows me around.
I hope that Nurtural Horse gives us an opportunity to share our home-grown
horse sense. We would be proud to play a small part in making the lives of
horses and owners better.
Even our horses whisper!
