1930s Field Horses Reins Riding Boots Saddle Spectators Winter Riding Hat Smart
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1936, we are transported back in time to witness a moment of elegance and grace. The image captures a distinguished gentleman sitting atop his majestic horse at the Leconfield Children's Meet in January of that year. The man exudes sophistication as he confidently holds the reins, showcasing his mastery over the magnificent creature beneath him. The winter landscape provides a picturesque backdrop for this scene, with an expansive field stretching out behind them. Despite the chilly weather, the gentleman remains impeccably dressed in his smart riding attire. His tailored coat and riding boots exemplify timeless style while his lordly presence commands attention. A striking element of this photograph is the gentleman's choice of headwear – a traditional riding hat perched upon his head with utmost precision. This accessory adds an air of authority to his already impressive demeanor. As our eyes wander beyond the central figures, we notice spectators dotting the background eagerly observing this equestrian spectacle. Their faces filled with awe and admiration reflect their appreciation for both rider and steed. This remarkable print from West Sussex County Council's George Garland Collection not only captures a fleeting moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with horses and their riders throughout history.
