Newcastle Balottades: A Historic Display of Equestrian Artistry and Power This image, titled "Newcastle Balottades: Le Droite" from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the rich history of horsemanship and aristocratic pageantry. Dated back to 1658, the photograph captures the Duke of Newcastle, Thomas Wentworth, demonstrating the art of balottades during a riding display. Balottades, a French term meaning "bolted," was a popular equestrian exercise in the 17th century. It involved the rider galloping towards a set of wooden poles, jumping them in succession, and then turning sharply to face the opposite direction, repeating the process in reverse. The skill and control required to execute this maneuver were highly regarded, making it a staple of grand equestrian events. In this photograph, the Duke of Newcastle, a powerful figure in English politics and a known horse enthusiast, demonstrates his mastery of balottades. Dressed in an elegant, ornate doublet and breeches, he sits confidently atop his horse, a testament to the close bond between man and beast. The horse, too, displays a remarkable level of obedience and agility, leaping gracefully over the poles. The backdrop of Newcastle's grand estate adds to the sense of opulence and grandeur, further emphasizing the importance of horsemanship in the aristocratic society of the time. This photograph is not only a beautiful representation of the historical significance of equestrian arts but also a reminder of the deep connection between humans and horses that continues to endure to this day. The intricate details of the Duke's attire, the polished wooden poles, and the lush greenery of the estate all contribute to the overall allure of this image, making it a must-have for any history or equestrian enthusiast's collection.
