FOR the second year running, the Irish Universities Riding Clubs Association played host to a charity fundraiser ball in aid of Pieta House. Taking place in the Talbot Hotel, Stillorgan recently, it welcomed student riders not only from Ireland, but also from England, Scotland, and Sweden.

The evening began with a drinks reception, followed by dinner, and dancing to music performed by the band Quantum. A raffle held during the evening, had prizes kindly donated by Dubarry of Ireland, Horse Sport Ireland, Tattersalls, Orwell and Browne, and Peter Mark, to name but a few.
