EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the Leconfield Opening Meet of 1934, captured in this remarkable print from the George Garland Collection. The image transports us to a bygone era, where elegance and tradition were paramount. Two riders, impeccably dressed in jodhpurs, riding boots, and riding jackets, stand proudly beside an old car adorned with ivy. Their top hats and breeches complete their distinguished attire as they prepare for a thrilling day of fox hunting. The scene is set against the backdrop of a magnificent big house with its grand gates flung open wide. The atmosphere is palpable as anticipation fills the air. A man holds his crop confidently while conversing with a lady who exudes grace and poise. Every detail tells a story: from the worn-out tyre resting against the wall to the intricate design on each wheel spoke. This snapshot captures not only an event but also an entire era's spirit. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's archives, this photograph offers us a glimpse into our rich equestrian heritage. It serves as a reminder of how traditions have evolved over time while still maintaining their timeless charm. As we admire this historical gem, let us appreciate those who came before us - individuals whose passion for horses and love for sport has left an indelible mark on our present-day pursuits.
