A billionaire Arab sheik has paid £250,000 to fly 30 members of the Household Cavalry to Abu Dhabi to perform for him, it has been reported.
Sheikh Mansoor Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, who is one of the richest men in the world, has arranged for a specially adapted Boeing 747 to take the horses to the Middle East.
On arrival, the mounts will be transferred to air-conditioned stables, with a team of staff to pamper them.
Meanwhile, the soldiers will fly business class and stay at one of the country's finest hotels, at the sheikh's expense.
Sheikh Mansoor is the brother of the ruler of Abu Dhabi, the biggest of the United Arab Emirates, whose family fortune is estimated at about £555 billion.
Last year he spent £210 million on Manchester City football club.
