Gwyn Rees

26 July 2025

Thomas Phillip Gwyn Rees has been a member of British Carriagedriving for many years.

He had a love for horses from a young age and started his scrap metal business on a horse and cart. He bought his daughter Nicola her first horse when she was 7, which re-kindled his love for driving . 

He bought his own horse Blackboy with whom he competed successfully, wining many events. He then started contesting 3 day events, first with Rollo and then Bob, and was lucky to qualify for the Championships at Windsor.

Gwyn shared a love for driving with his son Jonathan Rees, who eventually took over competing due to Gwyn's ill health. Gwyn would always support Jonathan and attend as a spectator.

Sadly, Gwyn passed away at home on the 26th of July.
