WEDNESDAY’s bad weather did not prevent members of the Irish Draught Horse Breeders’ Association from presenting a cheque for €1,600 to Gerry Cully of the Children’s Medical and Research Foundation at Crumlin Hospital for Sick Children.

This fantastic sum was raised following the brainwave of Brian Murphy and Willie Corrigan to create the first ever Men’s Side Saddle Class which took place at the IDHBA National Show in Punchestown on September 1st last.
