EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured lithograph by Joseph Strutt, titled "Two Horses Trained to Strike a Tabor with their Hooves," offers a fascinating glimpse into the medieval world of equestrian entertainment. Dating back to the 14th century, this illustration showcases the remarkable skill and artistry of trained horses and their riders. The image depicts two horses, each wearing ornate harnesses adorned with intricate designs, standing side by side. Their hooves are delicately positioned on a tabor, a type of drum, with their riders poised and ready to command their steeds. The horses' expressions convey a sense of focus and discipline, as they prepare to strike the drum in unison. This illustration is taken from Strutt's comprehensive work, "Sports and Pastimes of the People of England," published in 1876 by Chatto and Windus in London. The meticulously detailed lithograph is reminiscent of illuminated manuscripts, with its rich colors and intricate lines. The game of trained horses striking a tabor was a popular form of entertainment during the medieval period. It required immense dedication and training from both the horses and their riders, as they had to learn to strike the drum with precision and rhythm. This illustration not only showcases the impressive skill of the animals but also highlights the close bond between horse and rider, a bond that was essential for such a performance. Overall, this image offers a unique insight into the world of medieval sports and pastimes, and serves as a testament to the remarkable abilities of the horses and their riders during this era.
