Alex Tyson Grew up in a non-horsey family and initially took lessons once a week at the local riding stable; but by the age of twelve was breaking horses riding under the tutelage of a 7X World Champion on the Appaloosa Circuit.  

At eighteen Alex Became a CHA Certified Riding instructor, apprenticed with RFDTV's "Discovering the Horsemen Within"  Ken McNabb at nineteen, and was full time running a riding school at twenty one. 

​

Since Alex has been able to dip her toe in quite a few disciplines from hunter jumper, barrel racing, dressage, English pleasure, but her main talent lies in versatility competitions and Working Equitation, a combination sport of dressage, judged obstacles (EOH) and speed became a natural fit. 

​

Alex also has a heart for training feral horses, mustangs, and restarting thoroughbreds off the track. 

Alex has gotten two  top Five finishes at the Retired Racehorse Projects Thoroughbred Makeover, and has recently secured USAWE Central Zone Champion title on a BLM Mustang, Huckleberry Preacher. 

​

Alex Hopes to be able to show "Preacher" to the highest levels of Working Equitation and Western Dressage and in the process give hope to people on limited budgets that horse showing success can be obtainable with non- traditional breeds. 

​

Alex is the author of the book, Many Runaway Horses chronicling her misadventures as a youth rider, and how to laugh about it now but also avoid the disaster in the first place with older wisdom.
