EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of excitement and skill as the Mounted Division of the Royal Military Police showcases their motorbike and horse riding display during the Jubilee Gala Day at the Laing Sports Ground in Elstree, Barnet. The image, catalogued as part of the Breaking New Ground Project in partnership with the John Laing Charitable Trust, transports us back to London in the 1970s. The scene is alive with energy and movement. Riders on majestic horses gracefully maneuver through an arena while a powerful motorbike adds an element of thrill to this mesmerizing spectacle. Both riders and animals are perfectly synchronized, showcasing their exceptional training and expertise. The atmosphere is one of celebration, as people gather around to witness this extraordinary performance. It's a festival-like setting filled with joyous faces, eager to be entertained by these remarkable displays of equestrian prowess.
