CRUISE GTI

I found Cruise with help of Brian Lusk and Show Jump trainer Rowland Fernyhough.

Cruise has Show Jumped a little in Ireland and shows talent and scope to be of a great potential.

His physique combined with a lovely temperament seem to be of the right ingredients for a top Event horse.

My aim over the next few months is to strengthen him up and improve his basic way of going.

News for Cruise 2010

May 2010

Had two more Novice Event outings. He went very well at Sapey. I took my time across country, to give him confidence and he jumped a beautiful clear round, it was an absolute joy!

He also went clear around a stunning course at Hambleden, where there was more crowd and plenty to look at. Although, he didn’t feel quite up to his usual self in the SJ. So again I opted for a steady, clear round xc to gain experience. Later, I wanted mum to check him and sure enough, she found an obvious sore spot which was taken care off right away.

With some more rest and treatment I hope Cruise to be in action again for his next event!

April 2010

Cruise went to Portman, where he competed in his 2nd ever Novice event. He finished 9th and I was thrilled.

March 2010

Aldon 19/03/10 - Cruise completed his first run of this season in good form, finishing in 6th place.

I was pleased with his dressage test and the marks reflected my feel (32.5). One pole rolled in the SJ arena but Cruise was great across the country. He stayed in a lovely rhythm and felt balanced and nimble... I finished with a big smile on my face!

Summary of the Event season: 2009
