SHOWJUMPING Ireland, the governing body of the largest equestrian sport in Ireland, have kindly donated €2,000 to a special school in Ballymena.

Castle Tower School were the recipients of the funds generously donated by the sporting authority. Raising the money through their National Pony Awards Evening Auction held earlier this year in Kilkenny, the organising committee has equally divided the proceeds between four autism charities in the four regions of Ireland.
