EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, taken in 1988, the historic Bolsover Castle in Derbyshire, England, serves as the backdrop for an equestrian training session. The castle, a magnificent example of English Renaissance architecture, stands proudly against the rolling hills of the countryside, its grand facade a testament to the rich history of the region. At the heart of the scene, riders in period costumes can be seen training their horses in the castle's expansive courtyard. The Cavendish family, who have owned Bolsover Castle since the 17th century, have long been known for their love of horses and equestrian pursuits. This tradition continues in the 1980s, as evidenced by the meticulously dressed riders and well-groomed horses. The equestrian centre at Bolsover Castle was a popular destination for horse enthusiasts during this time, offering riding lessons, training sessions, and competitions. The castle's unique setting, with its intricate gardens and impressive architecture, provided a stunning and inspiring environment for riders to hone their skills. Philip Dunn, a renowned equestrian trainer, is seen here working with one of the riders and her horse. Dunn, who had a long and distinguished career in the equestrian world, was a regular visitor to Bolsover Castle for training sessions. His expertise and guidance were highly sought after by riders of all levels, and his presence at the castle added to its reputation as a premier equestrian destination. This photograph captures the essence of Bolsover Castle in the 1980s - a place where history and tradition intertwine with modern equestrian pursuits, creating a unique and unforgettable experience for all who visit.
