Sunshine Tyler, steel gray. g., 16.0h++, 2004.

Saved thanks to a kind donation from Top Jock Ramon!

Wow! This guy is a real eye catcher and has a wonderful sensible temperament as well! Only 3 lifetime starts, definitely was NOT a racehorse. Clean and sound, nice mover, beautiful head. Should finish close to 16.3h. This guy has a bright future in any sport.

Update:

Xrays showed an old sesamoid fracture on his left front, probably from a strain or a knock during racing. The vet gives him the OK for low level eventing and local showing (up to 3 ft). Accordingly, we have reduced his fee to $2000-. He is a nice big QUIET boy!

Adoption fee $2000-

Tyler was adopted by Marylyn in MD. Marylyn had a horse when she was very young but had been without for years. Now as a mom with a teenaged boy who was also taking lessons, she was looking for a sensible and quiet young horse to join their family. Even though some people had cautioned her against getting a TB, she came out and fell in love with Tyler. He was his usual quiet and happy self, very happy to do whatever she asked him to do, so she decided to adopt him. He left for his new home and all is going very well. He is great with the kids and her trainer loves him too. He is now named Shamus, and will be much loved for the rest of his life. Thank you!

Update September 2007:

Thank you Bev for your thoughts on all the advice I keep getting. I think you are totally right! Shamus has found his calling I think as a family & therapeutic horse! Both Bret & my friends son rode him. When each of them lost their balance he stopped immediately and looked at me. As if to say "Now what do I do? I can't let them fall!" My son Bret who has autism rode him 2x this weekend. Shamus is so patient and accepting of him. I had Bret ride without stirrups & reins on a lunge. I even had him close his eyes to get the feel. I was discussing how good he is with kids with our trainer. We both feel very comfortable putting a child on him.

I continue to do hill work with him, alot of trotting and a little cantering. I was told trotting is good to help him build up his back. He has already grown out of the saddle I have, and has gained some height too. He is no longer roan but more salt pepper. I am attaching a picture for you to see how he has changed. Let me know if you see a difference in his development. We think there is but I am pretty biased! I just adore him so much. It has been my dream since my horse was taken away at age 9, it is even better than I imagined. I cannot imagine a more perfect horse for me and my family. Thanks Bev!
