| An Update from Rober Splaine on Coolcorron Cool Diamond. |
| Coolcorron Cool Diamond's superb performances and consistancy throughtout the year has shot him up in to the Top 10 in the world rankingsand still maintains his position as the No.1 Irish Sport Horse Stallion in the world. |
| |
| He started off the Samsung Superleague Nations Cup Series in the French Nations Cup at La Baule with an outstanding double clear, only one of three in the entire competition. This was just a taste of what was to follow..... Winner of the Grand prix of Switzerland at St. Gallen and two days later he took the Cup from the home side in the first ever Superleague head to head with Markus Fuchs and Tinka's Boy. |
| |
| Next, Coolcorron Cool Diamond fitter and beter than ever, shone in one of the world's toughest showjumping challenges in Aachen, Germany delivering a second round clear to contribute to Ireland's first victory in |
| sixteen years. |
| |
| Coolcorron Cool Diamond's brilliant effort at the European Championships in Germany, helped secure Olympic qualification for Ireland in Athens 2004. Importantly, Ireland was ahead of both Great Britain and Italy, the vital position needed to qualify. |
| |
| The stallion's next appearance for Ireland will be at the Samsung Superleague final in Barcelona, Spain 18-21 September. |
| |
| A training and competition programme will then be drawn up in preparation for the Olympic Games 2004. |
