100th Maleny Show welcomes back renowned horseman

Guy has entertained, educated and inspired audiences of all ages across the globe for decades.

The organisers of this year’s Maleny Show are excited to announce that internationally renowned Australian horseman and entertainer Guy McLean, has been confirmed to appear in the Main ring on Saturday June 3.

From humble beginnings training and riding horses and reciting poetry on horseback on his family’s Susan River Homestead Resort, Guy has entertained, educated and inspired audiences of all ages across the globe for decades.

“We are absolutely thrilled that Guy will be appearing at our historic 100th Maleny Show,” said Show Society spokeswoman, Lois White.

Since 1999, Guy has three amazing liberty performance teams on two continents, demonstrating his complete and utter dedication to everything that is ‘Horse’. They have been featured at many major Australian, USA, and Canadian events such as Royal shows, Equitana Asia Pacific, Dressage Festivals, International Rodeos, World Cup Showjumping Events, World Equestrian Games, NY Central Park Horse Show, and also performing with his 4 Australian Stock Horses live on stage for Australia’s Got Talent, which was televised on Channel 9 in 2016.

Although Guy has always identified himself as a Horseman, first and foremost Guy’s talents with Bush Poetry have seen him twice being crowned Australian Bush Poet Champion, in 2002 and 2006, along with the great honour of being named an official ‘Ambassador of the Outback’. 

His most recent title has been named the first Official Australian Stock Horse Ambassador, which is one of the most honoured appointments of his career thus far.

Guy has taken Australia to the World through his horsemanship, bush poetry, and double-handed stockwhip cracking with his Team of Australian Bred OG’s, USA Born equine family members, and his two World Champion legends, by his side packing out 5,000+ seat arenas to watch their demos on what it is to be a Lifetime Horseman and a proud Australian Stockman.

“To be able to bring a horseman and entertainer of Guy’s calibre to our Show is just incredible,” Lois said. “We encourage people to get their tickets to the Show and come along on Saturday to see what promises to be a spectacular event.”
