EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the vibrant atmosphere of the Chiddingfold & Leconfield Agricultural Show in 1947. The image captures a thrilling moment as a show jumper gracefully clears one of the challenging fences, showcasing both skill and determination. The rider, dressed in traditional equestrian attire, exudes confidence as they guide their magnificent horse over the wooden plank obstacle. The intense competition can be felt in the air, with spectators eagerly watching from behind rustic barriers, cheering on their favorite participants. Set against a picturesque rural backdrop, this snapshot offers a glimpse into an era when agricultural shows were highly anticipated events that brought communities together. It serves as a testament to the enduring bond between humans and horses throughout history. Preserved within the George Garland Collection at West Sussex Record Office, this photograph is not just an ordinary piece of memorabilia but rather a window into our past. It allows us to appreciate how these shows provided moments of respite and celebration amidst post-war challenges. With its timeless charm and nostalgic appeal, this print transports us back to an era where horsemanship was revered and rural traditions thrived. A true gem from West Sussex County Council's archives that reminds us of our rich heritage and love for all things equine during the 1940s.
