what happened to Ollie T??

[skye123]

missed the xc yesterday and keep hearing people "muttering" about him

so what happened? know he fell off but did he ride badly or something??

 

[TiaPony]

horse wasn't sure whether to put in another stride or not and Oli obviously misread horses signals and didnt reassure him and they just departed.. very lucky both were ok - it looked rather dangerous

Quite a nasty fall over one of the big oxers across the Vicarage ditch

Ollie was thrown clear, horse eventually got up after it moved itself round to get up. Ollie got back on and trotted straight off into the crowds

Which horse was it on? Wasit theone h's only been riding for a month (Tom Cruise is it?)

 

[teapot]

Yup, was Tom Cruise. He withdrew Flint Curtis

Was surprised that jump didn't have a frangible pin on the back rail as it couldn't done with dropping which might have stopped the horse turning turtle.

He was obviously furious with it as it was really hesitant going into the jump. Probably wanted to give it a right whacking but thought better of it seeing as it fell.

Why have all these horses moved on from William Fox-Pitt? Weren't there two of his ex rides there?
