IN the aftermath of so many cancellations and uncertainities, it is a tonic to see international eventing returning to Millstreet next weekend. Running for the first time on the vacated Tattersalls dates, the popular event has attracted a welcome number of high ranked riders from abroad.

All have been granted special exemption to attend and among them are the world number two, Tim Price, together with his wife Jonelle. Also travelling is the recent British Olympic nominated Harry Meade, the reserve Ben Hobday, as well as their compatriot and eventing legend William Fox-Pitt.
