IT’S that time of year again already when planning for the annual David Foster Injured Riders Fund Ball – the best party on the eventing calendar – is in full swing.

Held on St Valentine’s weekend, the February 15th evening will kick off with a champagne reception at 7pm in the Johnstown House Hotel, Enfield, Co Meath.

All are welcome to come along for what will be a great evening of fun, food and dancing until the early hours. All proceeds are in aid of the David Foster Injured Riders’ Fund so it could not be in support of a better cause. Horse Sport Ireland and Gain Equine Nutrition are supporting the event.

There is a limited special on rate of €159 per double room including breakfast or holiday homes on site that can house up to four people and work out at just €60 per head.

All tickets must be pre-booked and are €80 if purchased online at www.itsplainsailing.com/club/david or €90 if paid on the night. For any queries, please call Emer Hatherell on 086 814 8688 or email emerhatherell@gmail.com or Jessie Foster at 087 653 1623 or email jessie_foster95@yahoo.co.nz
