Saddle up for Club Med with a difference

Article Abstract:

Club Med is generally associated with seaside holidays, but in fact offers a wide range of sporting holidays too. These include riding holidays at its Centre d'Equitation in Pompadour, France. It is advisable to have a little experience of horse riding, as classes are basically offered at intermediate and advanced level. The centre uses professional riding teachers who are very keen to ensure that classes are taken seriously. Participants are expected to work hard to correct their mistakes.

A touch of class and a dollop of ambition

Article Abstract:

Young people today are keen to become independent, and some have even set up their own businesses at an early age. They are keen to gain qualifications, but sometimes prefer to work and earn money instead, regarding experience as more important than qualifications. They tend to be amibitious, but are still prepared to settle down to a quiet family life later on.
