The Irish Field, a national newspaper in Ireland that reports on Equestrian sports, has discovered, in a world exclusive, that the legendary show jumping stallion Cruising was cloned twice in 2012. Cruising died last September at the age of 29, not too long after he was paraded at the RDS Dublin Horse Show. The two clones, 'Cruising Arish' and 'Cruising Encore' were born in 2012 and were kept hidden away from the Show jumping world at Hartwell Stud (where Cruising was born) until now. Cruising is regarded as one of the best show jumping horses of all time, winning countless Grand Prix's, including the Aachen G.P in 1999, with his rider Trevor Coyle. As the two clones are exact genetic copies of Cruising, the world will have to wait and see if they can live up to expectations.
