Hard Work and Dedication Will Get You Further Than Talent
Hard Work and Dedication Will Get You Further Than Talent
About Guy Creighton
Guy left school to go on the road as a show jumper. He started in Pony Club and talks about the requirements in those days of just getting from one side of the jump to the other. If you could do that then you were a successful show jumper.
When he was on the road, he met Art Uytendaal. Art taught Guy changing his style and preparing him for three Olympic games, two which Guy rode in and one which he was selected and Australian boycotted.
