Captain David O' Brien, Irish Army Equitation School comments on Ringfort Cruise:  " I produced Ringfort Cruise from the age of Six right up to International Nations Cup/ Grand Prix level. His temperament was excellent, he had a great canter and showed tremendous scope when jumping a double clear round for Ireland in the Nations Cup in Lisbon, Portugal. He was a very versatile horse, competing at grand prix jumping but also had the ability to win international speed classes "
