 Press Release from Amy (July 2007) I would like to express my appreciation to the Tribunal of the FEI Judicial Committee for its consideration and determination in this matter. I am prepared to accept the Tribunal's decision for the good of the sport. I would also like to thank my husband Greg, the Broussard family, Captain Mark Phillips, Karen O’Connor, and the hundreds of people that have written letters to me over the last two and a half months. Your support has helped to get me through this very difficult time. I also want to reiterate my unequivocal apology to the Tribunal, the FEI, the USEF, the Broussards, Eventers and horse people everywhere for the mistake I made during the cross country at the Lexington Three-Day Event. I misperceived the situation and acted incorrectly. Had I known that Le Samurai was injured in any way, I would have pulled up immediately. In the sport of Eventing, the welfare of the horse must be paramount at all times. I firmly believe in this principle and to the extent that my actions on April 28, 2007 appeared inconsistent with it, I again want to express how truly sorry I am. Most importantly, I want to again express my devastation at having lost Sparky as a friend and a partner, and how much I miss him.  Sparky was a 16.3h dark bay TB/Holsteiner gelding brought up through the 3-star level by Robyn Fisher (CA). He joined Team Tryon in 2005 and Amy was thrilled to have him in her barn. They began developing a strong partnership and finished 5th at the Blenheim 3-star (England) in Aug 2006. Owned by: Rebecca & Jerome Broussard (MT) and Amy Tryon (WA).

Poggio
II, aka the "little mountain horse” as he has been dubbed in the press,
is a 16h 1992 bay WA-bred Thoroughbred gelding (Polynesian Flyer x
Waves Club). He had a
short career on the race track and as a pack horse in the Cascade
Mountains before a friend of Amy's,
The
newest addition to Team Tryon’s line-up is Smarty, a 16.3h, 2000
gray 7/8 TB gelding. He was purchased in the winter of 2007 from
Joanne Bridgman of New Zealand. He had a lot of good miles at the
Preliminary level and Amy continues to build the partnership. He
moved up to the Intermediate level in 2008.

Leyland is a 16.2h, 2000 bay
Thoroughbred gelding owned by the Nicholson family of Michigan.
Leyland had a fantastic start in 2006 winning the 1-star at Poplar
Place and moving up to Intermediate at The Fork. He has personality
to spare and Amy really enjoys riding him and bringing him up the
ranks. He is an exceptionally fast learner with all the right
instincts. He is definitely one to watch for.
