THE team behind the recent Eventing Ireland season launch and silver medal celebration have expressed their gratitude to everyone involved for their generosity, especially the sponsors of the evening: Jane Davis and her team in Red Mills, who came on board with gusto; Ed and Siobhan Donohoe of Goresbridge Sales; the Irish Horse Board; Thomas Duggan, who is hosting the Under 25s World Championships this year at Millstreet, as well as Moët and Chandon champagne, who elevated the evening with their prizes and Lily O’Brien’s chocolates for the table.

“Without all of their sponsorship and enthusiasm, as well as all of the 190 guests, this wonderful evening could not have been possible,” said Tamso Doyle Cox on behalf of her co-organisers, Annette O’Callaghan and Gerry Leahy.

“We are also delighted to announce the total amount raised was €5,000 for the David Foster Injured Riders fund.”
