Almost all of Rees’ family are in some way part of the equine world, his mother’s sister Joana Morgan being a royal Ascot winning trainer.

A short but successful career as a jockey with  winners in the UK and France, a winning point to point trainer and owner of several horses himself. Rees has also operated successfully as bloodstock agent for Morgan Murphy bloodstock.
