THE Western Region of Eventing Ireland held its awards night last Saturday, in conjunction with the East Galway Hunt Ball and this inaugural joint venture was deemed a great success.

Some attendees had earlier hunted with the pack from their meet in Tynagh, where Masters Alan Briscoe and Scott Caskey (USA) were both out, as were Horse Sport Ireland’s high performance director for senior eventing Dag Albert and his wife Liz, eventer/show jumper Cathal Daniels and his father, Gerry, plus Goffs’ bloodstock team member Tadhg Dooley.
