British Pathe News is fab for clips of old shows and showjumpers from the 1930s on. Someone should put them on a DVD.

Fantastic clip.
I came across this one the other day, of a home-made double decker horse box in Romford...

Wonder where all those kids are now?

The Only Way REALLY is Essex. I thought my old Leyland Terrier looked like a shed on wheels.

Hmm now there's a thought! I was born in the 50's but I love seeing all the really old clips, the tack and the riding clothes...people were still using and wearing them them when I was a child, all the old 'old style' folk. Nobody ever seemed to ride scruffily, the women always wore hacking jackets and lipstick and the men were very polite and well turned out, they used to raise their hats..bowlers or trilbies, and said Good Morning.

These are fantastic.
There is an old newsreel of an Arabian stud somewhere - wish I could find it.

I think this is the one you are looking for. It's wonderful.
Can anyone identify the horses?

This is the one I meant to post. I had never seen the first one which is beautiful.
This one is around 1940 as Blue Peter the 1939 Derby winner is seen at the stud.
The other one is a lot earlier, very early 1920s perhaps.

Any way enjoy everyone!

Is it just me or did Blue Peter look lame as a dog in his back end?

No, that's not it. The one I remember had people riding the Arabs.
I don't know anything about Nasik but Skowronek is a very well know Arabian forefather.
Raseem is my Obi's great, great, great, great, great grandfather.
It was lovely to see a relative - thank you so much!

I agree, but TBF, I think he is retired at the time it was taken

Yes he looks a bit lame behind. He did retire to stud sound though & only finished his racing due to war being declared, otherwise he would probably have taken the Triple Crown.
Can't think what's up with him, but he was known as a pretty sound horse who got very sound stock. I read somewhere that show jumping & eventing riders in the 1950s looked out for Blue Peters as they were so sound, correct & strong.

Likely just something temporary.
I watch horses being ridden around who look much the same

When I learn how to post links there are some corkers I know of to broadcast.

It took me a while to learn. Just right click on address in bar (at very edge) & highlight copy, then right click in the post & highlight copy.
looking forward to seeing the clips!

Wonderful! Nice to see so many "No's" that would drive people to distraction nowadays: No numnahs, hats, groundlines, fat horses (or people), and yet still riding and jumping well. Amazing!

Aw, thanks! Very nostalgic for the old times when elf'an'safety didn't rule everything.....and we all managed to ride and have fun without dying all over the place
