The\ntragedy happened at the British Nationals at Malvern last weekend where Ryan\ndied very suddenly, presumably of a heart attack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ryan was\nborn in 1976 as the oldest son of Emrys and Sue Jones, the founders of Bychan\nArabians and together with his younger brother Rod and sister Rhiannon, he grew\nup with Arabian horses that soon became his life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With his\nlifelong experience with Arabian horses, it was almost a natural thing that he\nbecame a handler and trainer. In this capacity, he was sought after around the\nworld, and among other appointments, he showed for the King of Saudi Arabia and\ntrained the horses of the King of Bahrain for the WAHO presentation. He had\nthat special bond and feeling for horses, and on top of all, he was able to\nkeep up with even a trot that scores 20, 20, 20. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our sincerest condolences go to his partner and his kids, to his parents, his brother, and sister &#8211; may they find comfort in knowing that he was loved around the world and left a huge positive impact in the Arabian horse world.
