AIRO & IRTA were delighted to once again host the annual Owners & Trainers Golf Classic at the majestic Mount Juliet Estate Golf Club, bringing together owners, trainers and industry participants for a fantastic day both on and off the course. This much-anticipated event continues to grow in popularity each year and, importantly, serves a vital purpose, raising funds for Treo Eile. As two organisations deeply committed to horse welfare, Treo Eile remains a natural and fitting beneficiary, providing an invaluable platform for the retraining and rehoming of former racehorses.
