EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the summer of 1974 at the National Equestrian Centre in Stoneleigh, Warwickshire. Seven young apprentice female jockeys perch gracefully on a weathered wooden fence during their rigorous training. The image captures both the determination and camaraderie shared among these aspiring riders. As they sit side by side, their youthful faces reveal a mix of excitement and focus. These talented teenagers have embarked on a six-week course that will test their skills and dedication to horseracing. Only those who prove themselves worthy will be granted the opportunity to apply for professional licenses – an achievement that holds immense significance in their journey towards becoming esteemed jockeys. The composition of this photograph is strikingly symmetrical, with each girl occupying her own space along the fence line. Their bodies lean slightly forward, showcasing perfect balance – a crucial attribute for any successful rider. With grass beneath them and horses galloping nearby, it is evident that these apprentices are fully immersed in their equestrian world. This image not only captures a moment frozen in time but also represents an era when women were breaking barriers within traditionally male-dominated sports like horse racing. Neville Williams skillfully encapsulates this historical moment through his lens, allowing us to witness the determination etched upon these young riders' faces as they prepare to conquer new heights in pursuit of their dreams.
