EDITORS COMMENTS
Grey Friar: A Noble Steed in the Midlands Foxhunt, 1936 This evocative photograph captures the essence of the English countryside and the rich tradition of foxhunting in the 1930s. The image features Grey Friar, a magnificent grey horse, belonging to Mr Gerald Hardy, Master of the Meynell Hunt in Staffordshire. The Meynell Hunt is one of the oldest in the East Midlands, with a storied history dating back to the 16th century. Mr Hardy, an accomplished huntsman, sits confidently in the saddle, his face set in determination as he prepares for the chase. The horse, adorned with a sleek bridle and saddle, stands alert, its ears pricked forward, sensing the excitement in the air. In the background, the hounds are gathered, their noses to the ground, tracking the scent of the fox. The rolling hills and verdant fields of Staffordshire stretch out before them, a picturesque tableau of rural England. The scene is one of timeless beauty and tradition, a testament to the enduring appeal of foxhunting as a quintessentially British pastime. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of country life and sporting pursuits. It is a reminder of the deep connection between man and horse, and the thrill of the chase that has captivated generations of huntsmen and huntswomen. As we look at this image, we are transported back in time, to a moment of excitement and anticipation, as the hunt sets off in pursuit of the elusive fox. It is a scene that continues to resonate with us, a reminder of the rich history and tradition of foxhunting in the Midlands and beyond.
