What can I say, another year another article. After a superb 1st season 2003 culminating in winning Supreme Champion S.H.P. at B.S.P.S. Championships and 1st and Reserve Champion H.O.Y.S. Itch has had an unbelievable 2004 season.

He has been Champion at The Royal, Royal International, B.S.P.S. Wales, Devon County to name a few.

Nick and Itch arrived at the Summer Championships unbeaten this season. That was to change, in their first class Itch did an uncharactaristic whoopsie and ended up second. After that they went from strength to strength, winning Premier League Red Division S.H.P. Champion. David Manning Champion of Champions S.H.P. and Blue Riband S.H.P. Champion.

As if this wasn’t enought in the magical B.S.P.S. evening performance on the final night Nick & Itch were crowned B.S.P.S. David Manning Supreme Champion of Champions, B.S.P.S. Vale U.K. Ltd. Premier League Supreme Champion and the one we all wanted to win the B.S.P.S. Moyers Blue Riband Supreme Champion.

We arrived at H.O.Y.S. with an open mind just hoping for a good performance as it was Nick and Itch’s last show together. They didn’t let us down and at an unforgettable show were crowned Bewley Homes S.H.P. of the Year and Supreme Champion Pony of the Year. A fairy tale finish to a fantastic season.

Special thanks must go to all the generous sponsors for their beautiful awards and prizes. A huge thank you to Gillie for breeding and letting us have this “Once in a lifetime pony”. Finally to Nick and Itch who have provided us all with memories that will last a lifetime.

Good luck to Lucinda Stockley with Itch next season. I hope he gives you as much pleasure as he has given me.
