“This is going to be such fun!” Anita laughed as she got things ready in the barn for the weekend clinic at Horse Hair Ranch. It was such a gorgeous place near the mountains and she couldn’t wait to get there.

“The biggest fun is mountain biking and hiking,” grinned Matt. “Me an’ Sean can’t wait to take the rock climbing clinic.”

“Remember what Dad said.” Anita groaned inwardly. That image of her brother and his friend scaling cliffs conjured up all kinds of hazards she didn’t want to contemplate, knowing their impetuous enthusiasm.

Anita stared out of the school bus, willing the snow to stop falling and the heavy, grey clouds to lift. Normally she enjoyed winter but the past month had been so cold and snowy that she hadn’t been able to ride. It was ages since she had gone out on the trails with her friends. She sighed, heaved up her backpack full of books, and got ready to get off the bus.

“Are you serious?” Mom stared at her daughter over supper.

“Jill, Meridy, and Sandie thought it was GREAT!” Anita bubbled. “It’s SO different. We decided on a dressage-a-thon ‘cause everyone has to do flatwork and it’s easier to set up and everyone can trot a pattern and…”

“WHOA!” It was Dad’s turn. “W-5 Anita — Who, what, where, when, why?”

“Well, we know the what and why,” Anita began cautiously. “I’m sure Pete Poole will let us use his field so that’s the where and we could host it at the end of the month. That’s the when.”

“You’ve left out the fifth W, Anita,” Matt smirked knowing why she’d avoided it.

“Yes,” said Mom grimly, “Who.”

Anita and Matt were so excited to see their grandparents again. Belinda (‘Lindie’) and Bert Bell were their Mom’s parents and they were world travellers. They had recently spent some time in Venezuela. Bert, a forestry expert and geography professor at Brokeville University, had spent the last few months working with international agencies and local tribal communities to help them restore tropical forest in a project called Forest Landscapes Forever (FLF). Much of the forest had been clear-cut for mining, oil drilling, and agriculture. The land had been devastated and a huge conservation movement had been started to restore the forest habitat for the people and the wildlife. Now Anita’s grandparents were back in Canada and Gramps was lecturing again and giving talks. Anita and Matt were fascinated with their travels.

The girls were excited. With the fun of Christmas and New Year’s Eve behind them and school started again, they had begun to feel stall-bound with all the bad weather. But a clear weekend in mid January allowed them to get out for a hack along the river valley. They had wanted to go to the lookout on the hill, but the trails were closed due to snow and fallen trees. Just getting back in the saddle and riding anywhere was freedom, and they were making plans for the midwinter multidiscipline Snowball Schooling Show at Blue Meadows Equestrian Centre where they all took lessons and clinics with Mavis McDonald. There would be dressage, flat, and hunter classes in the indoor arena.
