Tyler's story is one of huge success. After a respectable career as a racehorse, he became a favorite horse in a unique leasing program offered by a riding school in Maryland. Students like Casey pay a monthly fee for the right to ride one of the special horses included in the program. The leasing horses are kept separate from the regular lesson horses and have a limited number of hours they can be ridden each week. They also have set "days off" to stay fresh and rested, and they benefit from regular schooling by advanced trainers.
Although the leasing horses are usually not offered for sale, Tyler was so loved by another of his riders, Julie, that she convinced the stable owner to sell him to her. Tyler now lives a pampered life on a farm in western Maryland.
