EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating atmosphere of the Mounted Gymkhana at the Haywards Heath Horticultural Society's Summer Show in Victoria Park, Sussex. The event, held on 8th July 1936, showcased a range of thrilling horseback competitions including musical chairs, balloon bursting, relay races, and potato races. In this particular image from the gymkhana, we see a determined competitor leading her horse through the sack race course. The challenge requires each rider to navigate over hurdles towards the starting post before entering a sack with their mount. Together they must circle the course twice and lead their horse to victory at the finishing line. The photograph offers us a glimpse into an era between wars when such events brought communities together for fun-filled entertainment. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this piece of European photography captured by Planet News during the thirties. As we admire this historic moment frozen in time by TopFoto. co. uk, it reminds us of how equestrian sports have always been cherished traditions that celebrate both human skill and equine agility. This remarkable image serves as a testament to the enduring spirit of competition and camaraderie that continues to captivate audiences even today.
