[ponyclubnicole]

Just clicked on this link and saw 4 days training in scotland in november but it's nearly $5000 !! Is it me or is this a bit expensive?? you do get to stay in the hotel etc so it's a mini holiday i suppose but still ... maybe put it on my christmas list (hmm not really !) the first lady to teach me to ride when i was 5 said she used to have lessons with him although this isn't quite what i imagined, 5 star accomodation of course

just a bit. That sort of money would gets you half way to buying quite a decent horse!! Looks like it's aim at Americans. Gleneagles is the golf place isn't it? Bit 'poash' for us hho's!

more money than sense then, did you notice jessica kurten is about a $1000 dollars more. Yes is a golfing place and 5 star no less. :0

I think the price tag is mostly accomodation and less to do with Mark Phillips........ he would be a lot cheaper elsewhere!!!

when i was over in America i picked up a horse magazine and they had Gleneagles advertised in there. v expensieve!

think i`d rather put the money towards a horse or holiday!

I think that program is likely aimed primarily at couples where one partner is a golf nut and the other rides - quite a common state of affairs, particularly amongst the sort of people who could afford that sort of thing. Gleneagles does a lot of American business so this might be an offer to bring the wife (most likely) along to do something she wants to do.

It's also got a huge equestrian centre. BHS exams are all done there. That's the only time I'll be going!!!
