EXCITEMENT is building ahead of next week’s international event at Ballindenisk, which this year celebrates a wonderful 50 years of eventing. With the enduringly enthusiastic Fell family at the helm, the venue has gone from strength to strength and, never complacent, significant changes and improvements have been introduced as the years have progressed.

To celebrate this special anniversary, the organisers have pulled out all the stops and the response has been overwhelming. The event has attracted many of the world’s top riders, including the number one ranked Harry Meade, as well as a large number of his compatriots including Emily King and Alexander Bragg.
