“INSPIRED beyond belief” is how Holmestead Saddlery’s Bill Holmes described the fundraising efforts of Lauren Blake (10) and Kate Moore (9) on behalf of the My Lovely Horse Rescue (MLHR) charity. When the girls saw that Holmestead Saddlery was supporting MLHR by offering to match all gift purchases made, they got to work on a bake sale and raised a whopping €431 for MLHR.

The girls came to Holmestead recently to meet with and present their funds to the main volunteers at the Leinster-based charity.
