Tiny hunter: Georgina joins the chase
A new generation of riders joined the traditional Boxing Day hunts across the county yesterday, watched by thousands of supporters on foot.
Georgina Webster from Beverley, took to the Westwood with the Holderness Hunt on her pony Smartie aged just four.
Organisers say about 250,000 people turned out for 314 meetings across the UK.
Jill Grieve, a spokeswoman for the Countryside Alliance, said Boxing Day was traditionally a family day, with many women and children attending, or even taking part. "We are getting children in because they are the next generation and we want hunting to go on for the next generation," she said. "There are also a couple of lady masters. It's not a male preserve in any shape or form."
