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 Gerry Guy, Eric Guy and Zoe Brooks. We all participate in horse training and care - and 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 all do round pen training. Eric is usually the first in the saddle. It's Zoe on the web site, and often in the round pen.

 

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!

 

 
Our Horses

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. 


We nurture our foals from the day they are born

from the early days at Guy's Acres,
before Gerry and Zoe "went nurtural".

 

 

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.

Eric is usually the first in the saddle.

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 in the last 3 years since we started doing more 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!
