The excitement is building amongst event riders and connections as the Munster Eventing Ball is now just a week away. Taking place this year on Saturday 3 November in the Great National Hotel, close to Tipperary Town, the growing guest list includes members of the Silver Medal winning Irish squad from the World Equestrian Games in Tryon, North Carolina. Their achievements will be honoured on the night along with the traditional Munster Eventing Awards where the stand-out performances of the last 12 months will be celebrated.
This year, the Munster Eventing Ball has an added significance. In addition to raising money that provides training initiatives and improves event venues in the Munster Region, the Munster Eventing Committee have decided that 50% of the proceeds from the night will be donated to the David Foster Injured Riders Fund – the preferred charity of the family of Jonty Evans.
The Charity Auction which will be held on the night has an impressive range of items including lessons with Irish dressage super-star Judy Reynolds, event entries for all of Ireland’s International Horse Trials, travel vouchers, feed and bedding and a trip for four to the Irish Army Equitation School. A days hunting for two with Blackmore & Sparkford Vale Hunt including 2 nights livery and accommodation is sure to attract plenty of interest. For the first time, those not able to attend the ball will be able to support the auction by submitting their maximum bid online before the auction. A member of the Eventing Ireland (Munster Region) committee will bid on behalf on any online bidders on the night up to their stated maximum.
