Ponies wearing the new Ideal Scurry Harness.

These ponies are full of character and are now about to start their 5th season of scurrying in 2009. They were the 2007 Grand League Points Champions and will receive a generous donation of a set of harness by Ideal Harness which they are now using. This has been made purposely for Scurry Driving and is a great harness. The ponies stable names are Comet and Kestrel and they are highly strung and like mini racehorses and not always as controllable as I would like! They are full registered Welsh B palamino geldings and are inseparable.

They competed at HOYS in their 1st season, Northern Ireland International Horse show in their 2nd season, went to Holland in 2007 as the points Champions after winning numerous classes and championships in 2007. They were 3 seconds up on the time in the National finals at Newbury and the European Championships in Holland but skimmed one ball which added 5 seconds and cost two valuable classes. Roll on 2009
