EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Mounted Display of the Army School of Equitation, an esteemed institution based at Weedon Bec in Daventry, Northamptonshire, England, during the 1910s. The image showcases the British military's exceptional horsemanship and equestrian skills, as cavalrymen, expertly mounted and dressed in their full regalia, perform a breathtaking display of riding prowess. The riders, bareback and with saddles skillfully lifted, leap over impressive jumps with an air of grace and precision that speaks to the rigorous training they have undergone. The dramatic setting, with the riders and their horses poised against a backdrop of open fields and clear skies, adds to the sense of excitement and achievement. The Army School of Equitation was renowned for its ability to produce highly skilled cavalrymen, and this mounted display was a testament to their dedication and expertise. The performance was a regular feature of the Royal Tournament, an annual military spectacle held in London, and served as a source of pride for the British military and the public alike. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era of military history, when horsemanship and equitation played a central role in the training and deployment of the cavalry. It is a reminder of the skill, discipline, and drama that characterized the British military's equestrian traditions and the enduring bond between soldier and horse.
