Guy McLean

True Aussie Stockman

Background

Guy McLean is a self-taught Australian Horseman who has entertained inspired and educated thousands of Australians from all walks of life.  After achieving top honors in his field, Guy decided it was time to take on the international stage.  In June of 2010, Guy arrived in the US with four of his Australian bred horses to commence his first American tour.

Since 1999, Guy and his amazing equine team (led by Nugget, the father of Guy’s 3 Dun horses) have been featured at many Australian events such as: Royal shows, Equitana Asia Pacific, numerous major Equestrian Festivals, International Rodeos and the Australia’s famous “Man from Snowy River Festival.” Another of Guy’s talents is bush poetry, having twice been crowned Australian Bush Poet Champion.

In 2002 and 2006 Guy received the great honor of being named an official ‘Ambassador of the Outback’ and through his performances of horsemanship, bush poetry and whip cracking, he has helped to keep the traditions of the bush and the true Aussie Stockman alive. In 2005, Guy was the inaugural winner of “Equitana’s  Way of the Horse” young horse starting competition.  It was the methods he learned in the Queensland bush, under the watchful eye of many a young horse that brought him victory.

Since his arrival in the US, Guy and his equine team’s stunning performances have quickly gained popular notoriety.  As a result, Guy has been invited to perform as a specialty act at numerous equestrian events around the country including several prestigious events such as the 2010 World Equestrian Games and the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas as a pre-show performer nightly in the PRCA Zone. He has also performed at a number of other events on the east coast and near his home base of Mount Pleasant, TX.

Although Guy has an uncanny ability to entertain an audience with his magnetic personality, bush poetry, quick wit, cracking bull whips and enchanting Australian accent, it is his almost supernatural connection with the horse that mesmerizes and captivates audiences of every age and nationality.
