Gail Rose Thompson

GAIL ROSE THOMPSON grew up in Ontario, Canada where, as a young girl, she became involved in show jumping and training horses. She graduated from Hamilton Teachers' College and taught school for several years before she travelled to Iran where she worked for the Imperial Court of Shah Mohamad Reza Pahlavi during the "Golden Years" of the 1970s, training his horses and the Iranian Show Jumping team. She returned to Iran in the fall of 2017 where she was able to connect with old friends and see the country, that has been so misrepresented by the press, as it truly is, almost forty years post revolution. She lives in Ocala, Florida.
