![]() I got the following earth shattering, and self-serving, news this morning.....
Michael Dickinson will not be applying for a Trainers License in 2008 I need 100% of my time to concentrate on Tapeta Footings. I spent most of last winter overseas and 50% of my time this summer visiting Tapeta installations in 5 countries, which obviously leaves little time for training. I have been concerned for sometime about the welfare of horses racing on unsuitable surfaces and really want repay the horse in my own small way. |

![]() I've always liked Dickinson. A legendary jumps trainer. I like that the welfare of the horse has always been his first emphasis, from the setup of his stable, to his gallops, and his work on developing Tapeta.

![]() The guy won about 1 race every 5 months with a full barn. Im sure he will be sorely missed
Welfare of his horses, maybe that would explain why his runners averaged about 4 starts a year. That or the great surface they trained over |
