Tom Cruise II

[BBs]

Reading last months BE Magazine i understood that Tom Cruise, former ride of William FP, Andrew Hoy and more recently Sarah Cohen had gone back to his owner YET AGAIN and wasnt going to be competing.
However, just being nosey whose competing at the spring events and it looks like Daisy Dick has been given the ride.
Great news for Daisy to have another top ride IMO, just ashame Cutty hasnt got him, but I guess Daisy is more likely to have a place on a Team this year.

Poor horse - do not know what is going through owners mind when she keeps making these decisions. This is a quality horse and I am sure if he stayed in one place then he could have some decent results and he should be in with a shout for a team place. I am thrilled for Daisy as she is an ace rider but Cutty has not got that much at 4* level at the moment whereas Daisy has 3.

It'll probably be with someone else at the beginning of next season.
IMHO, perhaps as LEC says, it would be better staying somewhere for a few seasons, and I'd like to see it with one of the up and coming riders, such as Abi Walters.

Agreed. I feel very sorry for the horse indeed. It obviously loves its job or it wouldnt keep coming out and competing with other riders with sucess.
Again, Daisy like William has more Advanced horses now, whereas Cutty and a like are now short of horse power.
HAHA JB Abi has many a horse up and coming

True, AW has some nice younger ones, but not much at the moment to take her out to 4* and give her a real good crack. Agreed Arty is ace, but he hasn't done a 4* since he fell at Burghely a couple of years ago.
IMHO She is so so talented, and has got to where she is by talent alone, I feel she really is one to watch.

Ditto, poor horse. However, I'm very pleased for Daisy, even though Cutty is one of the riders I admire the most.

ETS does anyone know why his owner didn't want Cutty to ride him anymore?

Owner is just up the road from me... Don't want to spread gossip though on the WFP sit as what i know may not be true.

Hi Jellybaby, you obviously know Abi (rather random name to bring up otherwise?), i used to know her Very well, (not so much anymore, apart from saying 'hi' at the odd event) i knew her when she first got Arty, and was doing Jr's on Buck.. as you said, very talented, and the ONLY young rider i know to get there through talent and not rich parents..

oi

I know I haven't done as much as her as I've studied and or worked full time, but I did get to near as dammit the same level at the same time on a £4000 horse! And deco was even cheaper

Kylie Roddy is also one of us mere mortals.

 

[MissDeMeena]

LOL sorry,

but i don't know you (ie i've never seen you ride or really met you

)
