I appreciate that totally. At the outset, when the Sport Horse Alliance was giving its figures I thought the representatives were almost shooting themselves in the foot because if the sector is doing so well why does it need the money?

The organisation is run well. I understand its need for additional funding. It is a credit to everybody involved that the figures mentioned have been achieved with little funding. In view of the fact that no greenfield site has been identified, however, the organisation might encounter difficulties getting around some of the issues, particularly those relating to private ownership.
