'Comet River Pony Club' is located in the town of Comet, in Queensland's Central Highlands.
The town was named after the 'Comet River' which runs close to the township. The river itself was named after Ludwig Leichhardt's observation of Haley's Comet in the skies during his travels through Central Queensland in the late 1800s.
Comet is a small rural town and is a service centre for the local farming community.
'Comet River Pony Club' consists of approx. 30 members and all members thoroughly enjoy organising and holding the annual Comet River Pony Club Official/ Unofficial Jumping Equitation/Show Jumping and Gymkhana days.
