Show Horse Ice Bucket Challenge for Fight MND TD Monday June 8th Training Day Twenty-26 at Coal Valley Equestrian Centre Tec. 

At FightMND, we know that while the search for a cure is vital, people living with motor neurone disease (MND) need better support today. That’s why we invest in research that not only seeks a cure but also improves care for people living with MND right now. 

In 2026, we’re investing nearly $3.1 million across 21 grants supporting Care research and projects that benefit Australians affected by MND

There is a donation button on the event that you can use to make a donation that goes straight to MND and we have also set up a fundraising page for Show Horse!

How this will work: Once the draw is out you can nominate the person you wish to ice bucket and pledge the amount. If that person does not wish to be ice bucketed then they can decline and match your pledge if they wish.  Any pledges are payable on the day. Ice is provided and my advice to all riders is bring a change of clothes!

I can pretty much bet the coaches will be wearing the ice.
