EDITORS COMMENTS
Capturing the essence of untamed beauty, this print showcases a group of Exmoor ponies straight from the wild. With their flowing manes and spirited gazes, these majestic creatures embody freedom and strength. Taken at the Bampton Pony Fair in Devon on October 30th, 1954, this snapshot offers a glimpse into a bygone era. These remarkable ponies were being sold at prices ranging from £4 to £15, attracting both farmers in need of light farm or haulage work and parents seeking gentle riding companions for their children. Despite their wild nature, it was believed that with proper training and care, these untamed souls could be transformed into loyal companions. The image portrays a moment frozen in time - men carefully inspecting each pony within an enclosed pen. The atmosphere is filled with anticipation as potential buyers evaluate the untapped potential hidden beneath those unbroken spirits. This photograph not only captures the raw energy emanating from these magnificent animals but also serves as a reminder of our deep connection to nature's wonders. It transports us back to an era when life moved at a slower pace and where humans sought solace in the company of noble beasts. Preserved through Memory Lane Prints, this piece invites us to reflect upon our relationship with animals while appreciating the timeless allure captured within its frame.
