How to convince my parents to let me go?
I really want to go on this holiday at a place called Valley Farm (http://www.valleyfarmonline.co.uk/) preferably for 5 days but my Dad said no. He said that I should go to the 3 day camp at the place I currently go for lessons(and always have went for lessons) because it's closer and it would be my first overnight camp of any kind. I went to Bambers Green ( the place I have lessons at) last year for the non-residential trip which was cut short due to me breaking my foot... I want to go to Valley Farm because they have loads of different activities and the place I go doesn't even have a XC course, which is something I really want to try. He claims Valley Farm is more expensive but it is so much better and he has recently spent £1000+ on my sister who was in Australia. This is something I really want to do, how do I convince him? Also, the place I go now isn't really professional and I don't know if it would be a beneficial experience to stay overnight there for 3 days!

You need to show them that you need to go and that you are responisble. Also, you need to earn there trust- cause once you do that, you can pretty much do anything. Also, if your parents are complaining of it being expensive offer to pay for some of it.

Your link doesn't work.
Be honest with your parents. Show them you are responsible.
Have a good attitude. No back talking and whinnying about your sister who went to Australia.
Get good grades. Strive for straight A's or high B's
Do your home work before they tell you too.
Do chores and do them before they tell you.
Help out with extra chores. Something your parents do but that you can chip in and help before they do it.
Research about the current place your going to and this new place that you really want to go to.
Write your parents(your father) a letter about it. Set up a family meeting. Start out by asking what they thought of your letter. Tell them how it would improve your riding ability and such.
Also have you done something in the past that would make them say no to you wanting to go this place? Have you asked to go somewhere else before and ended up wanting to quit going there? That can make them say no to future plans as well. Explain that this would be different and its not expensive if you work and show them you really want it.
