I'm lucky enough to have been offered a scholarship to 43 Air School and really cant wait to visit your beautiful country. Could you please give me more info about horse riding in the area? I am slightly disabled but a good rider and would love to go whilst over there. I'd also love to take a balloon flight whilst there, is there anything nearby? thanks vivienne
