EDITORS COMMENTS
Training on the Sussex Downs: A Journey Back in Time to Jevington Stables in 1902 This photograph, taken in the year 1902, transports us back in time to the idyllic Sussex Downs, where the thrill of horse racing and the beauty of the English countryside converge. In this image, we find Charles Wood, a skilled jockey, deep in concentration as he trains a horse on the rolling hills of Jevington. The serene landscape, dotted with trees and picturesque cottages, sets the stage for an authentic horse training session. The horse, strong and determined, appears focused on the task at hand, its muscles rippling with the effort of the workout. Wood, dressed in the traditional jockey silks and cap, expertly guides the animal, his body language a testament to the deep bond between man and beast. The scene is reminiscent of a bygone era, where the simple pleasures of rural life and the excitement of horse racing were intertwined. The stable hands, dressed in their work clothes, can be seen in the background, tending to the other horses, their faces reflecting the dedication and passion that goes into the care and training of these magnificent animals. As we gaze at this photograph, we are reminded of the rich history of horse racing in Sussex and the enduring connection between man and horse. The Sussex Downs, with their breathtaking views and challenging terrain, have long been a favorite training ground for jockeys and their steeds. This image, captured over a century ago, serves as a testament to the timeless allure of the sport and the beauty of the English countryside.
