EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a timeless moment in history - the Cowdray Hunt Meet at Ambersham on 15th February 1949. As the hounds pass by, their eager energy is palpable, perfectly juxtaposed against the charming backdrop of The Old House at Home pub and its picturesque bridge. Photographer George Garland skillfully freezes this scene, allowing us to step back in time and witness a cherished tradition unfold. The atmosphere is electric as horsemen and women gather with their majestic steeds, ready for an exhilarating day of hunting. The horses' muscles ripple beneath their riders, exuding strength and grace. Their anticipation matches that of the hounds who eagerly await their master's command. The Old House at Home stands proudly in the background, its rustic charm adding character to this idyllic countryside setting. Its weathered facade tells stories of countless gatherings over pints shared among friends after long days spent riding through these very fields. Preserved within West Sussex Record Office's George Garland Collection, this photograph serves as a testament to our rich equestrian heritage. It encapsulates not only the thrill of horsemanship but also highlights the importance of community spaces like public houses where bonds are forged and memories are made. As we gaze upon this remarkable image from yesteryears, let it transport us to a simpler time when horse-drawn carriages were commonplace and camaraderie was fostered amidst nature's beauty.
