Horse-training, 1844. Creator: Unknown
Horse-training, 1844. The training exercises of the racer are of peculiar interest at this moment...the annexed engraving, representing " The Last Sweat"...The process of giving training sweats is to clothe the horse very warmly, and then to walk him to the exercising ground, where he is to be soon started into a canter, which the rider, at a proper time, quickens into a smart gallop over a mile or two. From " Illustrated London News", 1844, Vol I

This photo print, titled "Horse-training, 1844" offers a glimpse into the intriguing world of horse racing during the 19th century. The image showcases a training exercise known as "The Last Sweat" which holds particular significance at this moment. In this engraving from the renowned "Illustrated London News" of 1844, we witness an unknown creator's depiction of an essential aspect of racehorse preparation. The process involves carefully dressing the horse in warm attire before leading it to the exercising ground. Once there, the rider gradually transitions from a canter to a brisk gallop over one or two miles. The scene captures not only the physical exertion but also highlights the dedication and skill required by both man and beast in this demanding sport. The unidentified male rider confidently guides his steed through its paces while wearing traditional riding attire that reflects Victorian fashion. As we delve into this historical artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an era when horse racing was at its peak popularity in Britain. This remarkable print serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with these magnificent creatures and their partnership with humans throughout history. Courtesy of Heritage Images and curated by The Print Collector, this photograph allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind capturing such moments on paper and our timeless connection with these noble animals.
