EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the thrilling moment of the Annual Steeplechase Race at the Rockaway Hunting Club in Cedarhurst, Long Island, New York State, USA. Circa 1908. The image showcases the determination and skill of a jockey as he expertly navigates his horse over a steeplechase fence, with the American flag proudly displayed in the background. The serene clearing, dotted with trees and lush greenery, provides a picturesque backdrop for the exhilarating race. The Rockaway Hunting Club, a prestigious institution for equestrian enthusiasts, has been hosting the Annual Steeplechase Race since its inception. Steeplechase racing, a traditional English sport, gained popularity in America during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Horses and riders face a series of obstacles, including natural and man-made jumps, which require both agility and courage. The leader of the pack, with his horse in mid-air, expertly clears the fence, demonstrating the perfect balance between man and beast. The horse, powerful and focused, propels itself over the obstacle, its hooves poised to land on the other side. The jockey's intense concentration is palpable, as he guides his mount through the challenging course. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of horse racing in America and the enduring appeal of the steeplechase tradition. The Annual Steeplechase Race at the Rockaway Hunting Club continues to draw spectators each year, celebrating the spirit of competition, camaraderie, and the unbreakable bond between horse and rider.
