Anna Thomas is an Equine Behaviourist and Monty Roberts Certified Instructor. Available for training, teaching and courses.

Discover Equus was founded by Anna Thomas.

Anna was born with a passion for horses and has spent her entire life surrounded by them. At the age of eight she was first introduced to Monty Robert's methods, and with great interest started to learn the language of the horse. She later became involved in point-to-pointing and racing, focusing her attention on improving the starting methods adopted in many racing yards both in England and Germany. After travelling to California in 2007 to help assist with a Monty Roberts special training clinic, Anna decided to embark on the journey of becoming a Monty Roberts Instructor after completing school in 2008, and "help make the world a better place for horses and for people" (Monty Roberts). In 2012, she became the youngest Monty Roberts Instructor in the world, joining the other 50 Instructors at the time. Whilst out in America, Anna became heavily involved with Valley View Ranch Equine Rescue and decided to move out there and manage the organisation, helping re-home and rehabilitate over 200 horses. During this time, she focused more on Western riding and became interested in the training techniques adopted by the likes of Ray Hunt, Bill Dorrance and Buck Brannaman, and combined those she had learnt from Monty, to form her own style, mixing both the English and Western disciplines, designed to suit any horse.

She then went on to work at Monty Roberts Farm as both an Instructor and trainer, teaching various courses including 'Horse Sense for Healing', a programme designed to assist with PTSD in War Veterans using equine therapy.

In 2012 Anna moved to Germany to work at a TB stud farm before returning to the UK to focus more on training and teaching. She currently splits her time between the UK and Hungary, where she runs an equi-tourism business, incorporated with training and teaching, with her partner, Monty Roberts Instructor Szabolcs Pinter. She is available for various lessons and courses, as well as training. Her passion mainly lies in gentling wild horses to become acclimatized to people and building their confidence.
