This pedigree practically contains all that is known, of the 
early history of the Welsh Trotting Cob of modern days. 
Among the names of the descendants of Old Trotting 
Comet are many Welsh Flyers , Cardigan and other Comets ; 
Fiddwen , Trotting and Briton Flyers ; Expresses and Cara- 
dogs ; King and Welsh Jacks ; Welsh Beaconsfields , Lions , and 
Dandelions, which show what an impressive sire he must have 
been. 
If Old Trotting Comet obtained a patriarchal fame, it is 
clear that his ancestors are worthy of notice. Thanks to the 
members of the Pryse family, and the evergreen memory of
