- Potential Star Seeking Firm, Kind Rider
This eye-catching, 9-year-old Irish Sport Horse is ready to step up and fulfil his considerable potential.
Tyson is a 16.1hh bay gelding (2016). We have owned Tyson since he was a rising 4 year old and he is very loved by my whole family so this sale is very difficult. My sister passed the reins to me when she went to university in June 2023 so I have had him for just over 2 years.
He is a naturally talented athlete with scope and a great engine, showing promise in Eventing. However Tyson can be sharp and requires someone with a good seat who can sit his random spooks. Tyson has never bolted nor got me or my sister off and is not known for bucking/rearing.
Tyson has been jumping 90cm with the scope to excel up the levels. His Dressage is coming along consistently scoring 65-70%.
Tyson was lacking confidence over fillers in fences. He needs a rider to say “come on it’s okay” - he just needs the reassurance. This is something we have been working on through the year both showjumping and cross-country.
We were hoping to take him out eventing next season but my circumstances have changed due to no fault of Tyson’s.
A genuine and honest horse, that still carries a degree of "greenness". He thrives on consistency.
Tyson is lovely to handle on the ground (never kicks/bites)
Tyson can be a handful out hacking - some days he will be fine, other days he will be very spicy half way round the hack. He is NOT a novice ride, and requires a firm, knowledgeable, and kind hand to continue his education and harness his athleticism. He respects a confident rider.
