Dressage rider and Lifeforce brand ambassador, Lara Dyson, is one busy lady! Combining competing with working as a Quality Manager for the family building company, as well as overseeing Cyden Dressage’s breeding programme, life is never dull.
Lara’s Lincolnshire yard is home to her three stallions, Cyden Cadans M, Cyden Bodyguard Moorland and the adorable pony stallion, Cyden Oostings Amgo.
After a break from training to complete their stud duties at Stallion AI, Cadans and Bodyguard are now back in work, with Cadans currently competing at Advanced Medium and Bodyguard holding his own at Prix St Georges and Inter 1 level.
Here we find out 10 things you maybe didn’t know about the Lifeforce brand ambassador.
- Lara attended her first pony club camp aged three with her pony, Crystal, having to return home every night as she was too young to be allowed to stay.
- Lara is the proud owner of two dogs, a Hungarian Vizsla named Inca and a Miniature Dachshund called Lola.
- 5am starts and 10pm finishes are a way of life for Lara.
- Lara is a Grade Eight in flute playing and singing and sang on the opening of the National Lottery!
- As a teenager Lara had a passion for eventing and was long-listed for the British Pony Team in both 1997 and 1998.
- In 2011 she was awarded her first 10 at the Nationals in the Advanced Medium Pet Plan Championships, riding Cyden Perplex. Lara and Perplex hold two National British Dressage Championships.
- The purchase of KWPN-approved Cyden Cadans M ignited Lara’s passion for stallions, having previously had no interest in owning or riding stallions.
- In 2013 Lara started her own breeding programme at Cyden Dressage using her own stallions. Her aim is to breed two quality foals per year.
- A judge once wrote on a dressage score sheet during Lara’s pony riding days, “I get the feeling you are as pleased as your pony to get that over with but very well tried on a clearly difficult pony!”
- In 2014 Lara had to have a pacemaker fitted to her heart, this means she is now battery powered!
