EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Two Horses Jumping Wall (The first wall on the open)" is an intriguing glimpse into the rich history of equestrian sports, specifically the world of steeplechasing, circa 1880. The image, captured by an unidentified photographer and available through Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back in time to an era when horse racing was a popular pastime and a testament to the skill and bravery of both horse and rider. The photograph shows two powerful horses and their jockeys leaping effortlessly over a high stone wall, the first barrier in a steeplechase race. The open field beyond the wall suggests that this is an early stage in the race, with the horses and riders focused intently on the task at hand. The horses' coats are slick with sweat, their muscles taut and defined, while their riders, dressed in the traditional jodhpurs and silks of the time, cling determinedly to their mounts. Steeplechasing originated in Ireland in the 18th century and quickly gained popularity in Britain, with the first official race taking place in 1752. The sport was known for its challenging obstacles, including walls, ditches, and water jumps, which tested the horses' agility, endurance, and courage. This photograph is a testament to the skill and determination of the horses and riders who participated in these races, and offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of a sport that continues to captivate audiences to this day. The photograph's composition, with the horses and riders framed against the backdrop of the open field and the imposing stone wall, adds to its sense of drama and excitement. It is a reminder of the thrill and adventure that horse racing offered in the past, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of this ancient and noble sport.
