And here are the lucky four chosen for the Royal Show opening on July 4. This photograph captures a significant moment in history, showcasing the resilience and strength of both miners and their trusty companions - pit ponies. Standing proudly from left to right, we have Charlie, an 8-year-old pony from Burnopfield Colliery, accompanied by his dedicated helper Norman Storey. Next is Nat, a spirited 6-year-old pony hailing from Langley Park Colliery, with Edward Miller guiding him along. Pompy, an adorable 8-year-old pony from Blackhall Colliery, walks alongside Thomas Flackerty who ensures his safety. Finally, we have Kent - a brave 7-year-old pony representing Kibblesworth Colliery - guided by Edward Dewson. These four remarkable creatures mark a significant milestone as they become the first pit ponies to be sent from Durham in three years. Their presence at the Royal Show opening on July 4th symbolizes not only their individual achievements but also pays homage to the coal mining industry that has shaped this region's history. This image serves as a poignant reminder of an era when coal miners relied on these loyal animals to navigate treacherous underground tunnels and transport heavy loads of coal. It encapsulates the deep bond between man and beast that was forged through years of shared hardship and camaraderie.
