Millbrook, NY—November 5, 2007—A special offer through Cross Country International, the world’s largest provider of equestrian vacations, offers you and a friend the chance to travel to Ireland or Spain and enjoy daily riding sessions with some of the world’s top trainers.

            Whether you are a competitive equestrian, or you just enjoy scenic trail rides, you will want to bring a friend along for this special, limited time, two-for-the-price-of-one deal through Cross Country International.

            “Everybody loves to bring a friend along with them to share in the adventure when they travel,” said Karen Lancaster, President of Cross Country International. “What better deal can you get than having your friend come along for free?”

            Ireland’s Country Estate Training, located in Thomastown, Ireland, just 90 minutes outside Dublin, is home to the Five Star luxurious Mount Juliet Estate. Here, you will train with British Horse Society certified instructors specializing in cross country, show jumping, hunt seat, and flatwork. You may also wish to explore the miles of trails on the estate’s property, or have a gallop through the lush green meadows.      

            Riders may make their own schedule to include maximum training time or a chance to experience other activities such as tennis, archery, spa facilities, and shooting (sporting clays). For the more capable riders, there is also the added opportunity to join in foxhunting activities with the Kilkenny Hounds. Golf enthusiasts will surely want to take advantage of the Par 72 Jack Nicklaus designed course.

            Program Includes:

• 5 nights hotel accommodations in the Hunter’s Yard

            Another great option is Spain’s Madrid Countryside Training and Trail package. You will train at The Molino, top Spanish instructor Salvador Fabregas’s riding center located in the Madrid countryside. Aboard Andalusians, a regal purebred Spanish breed, you can improve your dressage or jumping skills with two hours of lessons daily. Before or after your lesson, enjoy a relaxing hack through the dramatic Castilian countryside, or an exhilarating gallop over sprawling terrain and through medieval villages.

            At the end of the day, return to your lovely hotel in Pedraza to indulge in fine Spanish wines and gourmet dinners and the chance to share your equestrian adventures of the day with fellow travelers. Walk through quaint towns and wander through village markets and stores, as well as enjoying a guided driven tour in Segovia.
