OVER €4,000 was raised for MS Ireland last Saturday when 600 people turned out at Holmestead Saddlery in Kill, Co Kildare, for their MS Charity Day in aid of the late Rachel Holmes.

Amongst the many attractions during the fun day were therapy ponies Summer and Twinkle Toes with owner Samantha Hayes. The two adorable minis, who visit sick children in hospital to spread some cheer, performed their signature tricks throughout the day.
