Horse Event raises thousands for St Elizabeth Hospice A cheque for £4,000 has been handed over to St Elizabeth Hospice by the organisers of a popular horse event. The money was raised from the Stratford Hills Horse Trials which took place at Hills Farm, Stratford St Mary. The competitive event, which featured dressage, show jumping and crosscountry was organised by Lady Gill Aldous and a team of unpaid volunteers including Hospice trustee Sally Hewetson. Money raised was split between the Hospice, which is based in Foxhall Road, Ipswich, and the Shelley Centre for Therapeutic Riding in Hadleigh. Lady Aldous said: “This event started in 2003 with the aim of providing an enjoyable competition for riders and to raise money for local charities. We now run over two days with about 500 riders competing. This requires a hard working committee and over 200 volunteers to help and without them the event would not take place. We are thrilled to have been able to donate a substantial amount to each of this year’s selected charities.” Laura Backhouse, community fundraiser at the Hospice said: “It is clear a lot of hard work has gone into organising this event and many people gave up their precious time for free to make it a success. We are extremely grateful to have benefited from it and this £4,000 donation will really make a difference helping us continue to care and support patients and their families from east Suffolk.”
