Aldin Cecil Driving Exmoor Jerry Ponies Pony Reins
EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the idyllic 1930s as we take a glimpse into the past through this charming illustration. The image captures a young boy named Cecil, dressed in a knitted jumper and corduroy trousers, expertly guiding a pony named Jerry around a lush, green field. The pony, with its flowing mane and tail, appears calm and obedient as it follows the boy's gentle commands. The scene is set in the picturesque countryside of Devon, England, where the trees frame the edges of the field and the grass stretches out as far as the eye can see. The boy's connection with Jerry is palpable, as he holds the long reins loosely in his hands, allowing the pony to graze peacefully while they explore the expansive landscape. This illustration is taken from the pages of an Aldin book, published in the 1930s, and showcases the joy and simplicity of rural life during that era. The use of long reins for training ponies was a popular method during the 1930s, allowing the animal to learn to follow commands while still allowing for freedom and natural movement. As we look at this illustration, we are transported back to a time when life moved at a slower pace, and the bond between boy and horse was a cherished part of rural life. The image is a beautiful reminder of the history and traditions of horse riding and training, and the enduring connection between humans and animals.
