Two young people take the bit between their teeth and start a riding school.

In this age of space vehicles and nuclear power it seems surprising that more people have more to do with horses than ever before. Yet this is the case. So great is the demand for riding schools and pony clubs that there are now thousands of them. Millions watch show-jumping on television, shows all over the country attract huge crowds, and there are many entries for all classes. In tonight's programme two young people who started their own riding establishment four years ago with £500, one pony, and some good friends and neighbours, tell about themselves and the price of their dream.
