In this subhead it is important to note that the figure is being recorded as a reduction but it is actually the same Estimate as last year. If the expenditure goes slightly above we will deal with it. Anyone who has not visited the Army Equitation School should do so, it is really impressive and is not just for people who are interested in horses. For me this is a really important connection with the Defence Forces from an historic point of view. I would like to see the Army Equitation School involved in broader sport horse promotion . We are working on ways in which that can be done.
