EDITORS COMMENTS
A charming snapshot of stable grooms tending to their horses at a stable yard in Porlock, Somerset during the 1960s. The photograph captures the rustic charm of rural life, with the grooms dressed in checked shirts and wearing harnesses, bridles, and reins as they attend to their equine charges. The horses, with their powerful forms and expressive eyes, seem to gaze back at the camera with a sense of quiet dignity. The stable itself is a wooden structure, with a simple door and a sign hanging above it. The scene is filled with the scent of hay and horseflesh, and the sounds of hooves shuffling on the ground and the occasional whinny of a horse. In the background, a young boy can be seen peering through a window, perhaps eagerly awaiting his turn to ride. The atmosphere is one of calm efficiency, with the grooms going about their daily tasks with practiced ease. One groom is even seen taking a break, with a cigarette dangling from his lips. Nearby, a fire hose and reel are visible, a reminder of the importance of safety in the stable environment. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, a time when life moved at a slower pace and the bond between humans and horses was a deeply meaningful one. It is a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures and enduring connections that can be found in rural life.
