Ashdale Cruise Master is put down

From the Horse & Hound,

Ashdale Cruise Master was sadly put down due to neurological issues.  The 12-year-old gelding fell at Badminton this year, and at Rolex 2010, but was consistently successful at the CIC3* level.  Rider Oliver Townend said he gave the horse time off this summer, and hoped for a quiet Intermediate run October 15.  According to Oliver, the horse lost coordination on cross-country and they pulled up.  Veterinary tests concluded that Ashdale Cruise Master suffered from untreatable internal problems.

 

Our thoughts and prayers are with Oliver and his barn during this difficult time.
