EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the George Garland Collection takes us back in time to the Loxwood Show in Wisborough Green, 1939. In this snapshot of history, we are introduced to a magnificent grey heavy horse proudly displaying its prize rosette alongside its skilled handler. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia and admiration for these majestic creatures that were once an integral part of our daily lives. The composition beautifully captures the essence of a competition atmosphere, with other horses and their handlers visible in the background. The dock serves as a reminder of the working nature of these animals, showcasing their strength and versatility. It is evident that this event was not just about winning accolades but also celebrating the bond between man and beast. Preserved by West Sussex Record Office under Ref. No. Garland N18074, this photograph offers us a glimpse into an era when such shows were eagerly anticipated community events where people would gather to marvel at these powerful equines. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history, let us appreciate all those who dedicated themselves to preserving our agricultural heritage. This image serves as a testament to their hard work and commitment while reminding us how far we have come since then
