Forest Festivities by Mica Ford

Christmas is coming and sisters Niki (11), Beth (8) and Lolly (6) know that, despite the weather, they will have lots of fun with their ponies when they visit their Grandparents in the New Forest.  Aunty Anna needs help putting together music for her dressage competition; Niki is looking forward to the Christmas jumping show, Lolly is desperate to come off the hated lead rein and Beth could be in for a lovely surprise.  This year they will attend the traditional Boxing Day Point to Point which they know is unique to the New Forest and there is even a mounted Christmas carol service.  They can’t wait.
