Great pic. You can feel the power in these magnificent animals.
Dapper Dan
The gent on the right - striped tie, pinned collar, french cuffs, casually looking over at his competition knowing he's got this one in the bag. The only giveaway in his relaxed demeanor - the tight grip on the reins. Excellent!
No Helmet? No Vest? No Problem!
Ah, the olden days of jumping, long before safety was even a thought.
If the standard on the right is to be believed, they're jumping 4 feet and have arrived nearly at the same time as a pair. Very hard to do, and rarely seen other than the occasional hunt night at the larger shows these days.
I'll also hazard a guess that the bits are sewn into the bridles, meaning that bridle was for that horse only.
The riders' equitation, though not textbook, gives both horses plenty of freedom to really crack their backs over the fence. And in terms of jumping a horse, that's a good thing.
Great picture, hope there are more!
