Comet in Clifden
Clifden 2004
  • Castle Comet – Olympia – the only pony to be Champion of Champions at HOYS and Champion at Olympia. Comet scored a whopping 95 (47 Riding / 48 Conformation) out of 100, 11 points clear of the 2nd prize winner. Having won both Supreme at HOYS in 2002 and now the NPS Baileys Championship 2004, Vanessa took Comet on his final, emotional, lap of honour in front of an audience of thousands, halted in the centre of the Arena, jumped off, gave Comet a pat and then walked him out of the floodlit International Arena into retirement from Ridden Classes.
  • Comet Champion at Royal Dublin Show in August.
  • Chilham Polaris (Lily) sold to Mr & Mrs Woolley, Cumbria for their daughter Jessica. Her sister Emma has broken her in and this picture was taken the first time Jess rode her.
