Two Young Riders at Cloutsham Farm, Exmoor, Devon: A Snapshot of Horseback Skills and Foxhunting in the 1920s This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era, as two young riders hone their horseback skills at Cloutsham Farm in the picturesque Exmoor region of Devon, England. Dressed in their scarlet and red hunting attire, the young girl and boy appear focused and determined as they practice maneuvers on their ponies, their expressions reflecting the concentration and joy of their pursuit. In the distance, the Devon and Somerset Hunt can be seen, adding an air of excitement and tradition to the scene. The year is 1926, and the 1920s, or 'roaring twenties,' were a time of great change and progress. Yet, in the rural West Country, the old ways of country life continued to thrive. Foxhunting remained a popular pastime, with its rich history and sense of community drawing participants from all walks of life. The young riders in this image are part of that tradition, learning the art of horseback riding and the skills required for foxhunting from a young age. The scene is idyllic, with the green fields stretching out before them, the sun casting long shadows on the ground, and the promise of adventure in the air. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of the countryside and the timeless connection between horses, riders, and the great outdoors.
