You should also have received Polo Miscellania, which contains new additional polo destinations such as Chile and the wonderful Lake Manyara Bush Polo Safari in Tanzania - sometimes watched by the wandering Masai and African game!

If you have not yet received our brochures, be sure to Contact Us so that we can get them out to you right away. They will give you a great read as well as help you plan new riding and polo destinations for your upcoming holidays.

THE WORLD CUP POLO CHAMPIONSHIPS, AUSTRALIA
The Polo2000 convention was such a huge success that we decided to make arrangements to have our Polo Plus Holidays in Australia and New Zealand coincide with the FIP (International Polo Federation) World Cup Polo Championships in Melbourne, Australia.

The World Cup Polo Championships takes place from March 26 to April 8, 2001. Our "pre" and "post" trips will be offered from March 15th through April 15th. These special offerings will be announced in December, so please mark your calendars so that you will check back on our web site for all of the latest news. Our discerning eye in selecting "the best of the best" will be quite evident.

POLO2000
Polo2000 by Polo America, the first-ever polo convention of its kind, took place in Las Vegas in October 2000. There was a vast array of seminars offered as well as a multitude of booths featuring many aspects of polo. IJ was the only seminar speaker on the subject of polo holidays. IJ's Horseback and Polo Holidays booth was the only booth offering multi-destination polo holidays.

SPECIAL NEPAL TREK
We are excited to be able to offer a high mountain trek in Nepal's Mustang Valley on July 15. Mustang is the Nepalese word for Tibet, now a province of Nepal. Tibet is a Kingdom of it's own. It has often been called "the roof of the world". This ride will begin in Katmandu.

It is necessary to book this ride now as Her Majesty's Government only issues a handful of permits into Tibet. A group of only four intrepid riders will be able to partake on this adventure. Call for more information and get your reservations in so that you don't miss out!

The unique culture, geography and ancient civilization of Tibet lives on In a remarkably unspoiled way, in Mustang, the Hidden Kingdom.

AND THE VERDICT IS (out of the mouths of fellow riders)
We would like to thank all of you have taken the time to write to us upon returning from your riding holidays. Your feedback is invaluable to us in helping us keep up the quality that our riders and we expect, as well as in planning future riding and polo holidays.
