LANDING a major coup for Irish eventing, it was announced yesterday that Millstreet has been awarded the penultimate leg of the prestigious Event Rider Masters series. One of only six rounds in the series, which remains the most valuable in the sport, the showcase class (CCI4*S) will be staged as part of the full international at Millstreet during the last weekend in August.

“We are both delighted and honoured to have been chosen,” commented Thomas Duggan. “Not just for ourselves as a family, but especially for our loyal team of supporters and volunteers without which we could not run.”
