KEY POINTS:
New Zealand showjumper Guy Thomas is keeping it in the family by qualifying for the World Cup final in Sweden this month.
Thomas gets his chance to take on the world's best in Gothenburg on April 24-27 after finishing second in the American West Coast World Cup league on Carino.
The California-based rider, 30, who competed for New Zealand at the 2004 Olympic Games, is following his parents Butch and Lou, who both competed at World Cup finals.
New Zealand has not had a representative at the World Cup final since John Cottle and Telegraph competed in 2005.
