EDITORS COMMENTS
Regency Equestrian Chance: A Daring Ride without a Bridle, as Depicted in Thomas Rowlandson's Handcoloured Copperplate Engraving This intriguing handcoloured copperplate engraving by Thomas Rowlandson, after an illustration by Henry Bunbury, captures the essence of Regency equestrianism and the spirit of adventure. The image, titled 'How to Ride Without a Bridle' from Geoffrey Gambado's An Academy for Grown Horsemen and Annals of Horsemanship, published in London in 1809, presents a daring Regency gentleman attempting to ride a horse with only a string around its neck. The gentleman, dressed in the fashionable attire of the time, including a bicorne hat and a low-cut coat, is focused on his horse, which appears to be in a lively, low trot. His feet, clad in high-heeled boots, are positioned correctly in the stirrups. In the background, an unfortunate man is being dragged off by a horse, his foot caught in a stirrup, providing a stark reminder of the potential risks involved in such an endeavour. The scene is set in a pastoral idyll, with a thatched cottage and a woman in the distance, screaming in alarm at the unfolding accident. A pig and a daisy add whimsical elements to the image, while the gentleman's horse, a cutter, and the variety of saddles and whips in the background illustrate the different styles and equipment used during the Regency period. This caricature, with its humorous touch and intricate details, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Regency horsemanship and the daring exploits of its horsemen. The engraving, with its vibrant colours and meticulous detail, invites us to appreciate the beauty and excitement of riding without a bridle, while also serving as a reminder of the inherent risks and challenges involved.
