RED MILLS to sponsor at Tattersalls 2012

Tattersalls Ireland today announced Connolly’s RED MILLS as new sponsors at the International Horse Trials, 31st May – 3rd June. The Kilkenny based feed company will sponsor the CCI** Under 25 Class at the 2012 International Horse Trials and Country Fair. Dog lovers at the event will also be delighted to hear Connolly’s RED MILLS will sponsor the RED MILLS Arena which will host the ever popular dog competition and pony rides over the weekend. The novelty dog show is always a hit with spectators and this year RED MILLS have a few surprises up their sleeve with dog obedience, agility and maybe even some pooch grooming on the cards.  
 
Gareth Connolly, Sales and Marketing Director Connolly’s RED MILLS, “Connolly’s RED MILLS is delighted to join forces with Tattersalls International Horse Trials. We know this competition will be a great test to horses and riders alike, and being Olympic year makes it all the more exciting. We wish all competitors the very best of luck and look forward to meeting you all at this great event.”
 
Roger Casey, General Manager of Tattersalls Ireland, “We are thrilled to confirm Connolly’s RED MILLS as new sponsors. They have a long association with the sport and are a perfect fit for this event. We are looking forward to working with the RED MILLS team to build the partnership.
 
The Tattersalls International Horse Trials and Country Fair in association with Horse Sport Ireland continues to grow. The main shopping village is sold out and we have a number of new initiatives which should appeal to the growing audience. Amongst some of the new activities are a vintage car and tractor display, a working farm demo from Moynalty Steam Treshing, a falconry display and an extended kiddie area. We also have new caterers in the main restaurant, a Country Market and a Priority Parking area. We strive to improve the event year on year and will be announcing a number of new concepts as the event draws closer.”
