Tyler James, a prominent Bermudian equestrian, completed a two‑week stint at the Split Rock Jumping Tour in Lexington, Kentucky, delivering a series of strong performances that underscored his growing reputation on the international circuit. From September 16 to 27, James competed in both the Split Rock Kentucky National CSI2* event and the Split Rock Fall Classic CSI3*, consistently placing in the top tiers of each competition.

James’ results have drawn praise from Bermuda’s equestrian community, which has long nurtured talent that competes abroad. “Tyler’s consistency and skill on the course reflect the high level of training and support we provide back home,” said a spokesperson for the Bermuda Equestrian Association. The association noted that James’ success helps raise the profile of Bermudian riders and serves as inspiration for younger athletes in the local riding clubs.

The rider’s participation in Lexington’s prestigious show series also highlights the growing partnership between Bermuda’s equestrian sponsors and international events. Local sponsors, including several regional businesses that have supported James on the road, celebrated his achievements as a testament to the island’s commitment to fostering elite sporting talent.

As the Split Rock Tour concludes, James plans to return to Bermuda to share his experiences and insights with the next generation of riders, further strengthening the island’s presence in the global equestrian arena.
