EDITORS COMMENTS
A Hive of Activity: The Exmoor Pony Fair, Devon, 1897 This evocative photograph captures the bustling atmosphere of the annual Exmoor Pony Fair, held in the quaint village of Taunton Deane, Devon, in 1897. The fair, a centuries-old tradition, attracted farmers, traders, and enthusiasts from far and wide to buy, sell, and exchange Exmoor ponies, a hardy and versatile breed native to the Exmoor Moorlands. The scene is a riot of color and movement. Farmers, dressed in their Sunday best, haggle over prices with potential buyers, while ponies of all shapes, sizes, and ages mill about, their coats glistening with rain and sweat. The cobblestone streets are crowded with onlookers, their faces a mix of excitement, curiosity, and determination. The fairground is a hive of activity, with merchants selling everything from hay and oats to bridles and saddles. The air is filled with the sounds of horse hooves on the cobblestones, the clatter of carts, and the lively banter of traders. The rain, which had earlier threatened to dampen spirits, has given way to a brief respite, casting a soft, ethereal glow over the scene. Despite the passage of time, this photograph transports us back to a bygone era, a time when the rhythm of rural life was dictated by the seasons and the needs of the land. It is a poignant reminder of the enduring connection between people and their animals, and the communal spirit that continues to thrive in the heart of rural Devon.
