Captain Guy Fraser Disney MBE (born 17 March 1982) is a British steeplechase jockey. He is the first amputee jockey to win a horse race at a professional race-course in Britain. He won the Royal Artillery Gold Cup, on his horse, Rathlin Rose, at Sandown Park Racecourse, in Esher in Surrey, on 17 February 2017. Disney's horse was trained by racehorse trainer David Pipe.
As a former serviceman in the British Army, Disney said his thoughts turned to his fallen colleagues in Afghanistan when he won.
