Tiger Tim

Tiger Tim is a stunning Gypsy cob stallion who has made quite a name for himself over the last few years with an impressive list of showing and dressage achievements. Owned and bred by Denise Kersley, Tiger Tom is currently ridden by Alys Matravers. At the recent South West Winter Regional Championships 16-19 February 2014 Alys and Tim gained the highest scores of the four day show proving that cobs can do dressage. With an impressive score of 79.44%n the pair won the Baileys Horse Feeds Novice Open Music Freestyle. Here is a video of Tim and Alys in action: Tim and Alys haven't been doing dressage together for that long and as they don't have a sand school they train in a field and have certainly achieved a great deal and shown that they can compete with the warmbloods.  It is clear that they have plenty of potential to go further in the dressage and they are aiming towards medium level this year.
