EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative early 20th century photograph captures the diligent work of the 21st Lancers, a distinguished British cavalry regiment, as they tend to their horses' hooves in the field. The image, taken during the regiment's training or perhaps while on campaign, showcases the soldiers' dedication to their mounts, a testament to the close bond between horse and rider. The scene is set in a rustic, outdoor environment, with the soldiers wearing their full military dress uniforms, complete with plumed helmets and ornate, silver-embroidered jackets. The horses, too, are adorned with military trappings, their hooves protected by iron shoes. In the foreground, a soldier carefully removes a stone from a horse's hoof, while his comrades look on, ready to assist if needed. The horse, seemingly unfazed by the attention, stands patiently, its ears slightly forward, a sign of trust and obedience. The soldier's deft handling of the horse's hoof demonstrates the skill and experience required to maintain the health and readiness of these magnificent animals, essential for the regiment's success on the battlefield. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the 21st Lancers during the early 20th century, a time when horses and riders formed the backbone of the British military. The image is a poignant reminder of the close relationship between soldier and horse, and the importance of their mutual care and support.
