THE Irish Horse Welfare Trust is hosting a fundraising Golf Classic on Monday, September 9th at Powerscourt Golf Club. Run on a basis of teams of four, individuals are most welcome to come along as well as every effort will be made to accommodate them in playing. There is a shotgun start at 2pm and following the evening BBQ and prize-giving, a short auction will be conducted by MC Robert Hall.

The IHWT, based in Woodenbridge, Arklow, have nearly 80 assorted horses and ponies in their care, mostly thoroughbreds with some cobs and ponies.

“This is the most important fundraiser in our calendar year and we are looking for teams to play and also seeking some items for the auction. We have a fabulous Longines Watch, a Shane Lowry golf club and some racing packages to auction. We would be grateful for more suitable items such as racing packages, hotel breaks, gift vouchers, match tickets, art or collectibles,” said the IHWT’s Sharon Power.
