The 11th annual Ballyglunin Horse and Pony Races took place this year on the 21st of July. The event, which has been running every year since 2003, has become established as one of the biggest events of its kind in Ireland and each year proves to be a very enjoyable day out for all the family. Since its inception, the event has raised a staggering €117,270.82 for Galway Hospice!

Many thanks to everyone who supported this event (not just this year but every other year) and thanks especially to the organising committee who do such an amazing job on a voluntary basis. Annual events like this are extremely important to Galway Hospice in terms of sustainable fundraising. Thank you to all involved, and well done!
