EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment in history as army horses are seen learning to navigate down steep cliffs. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image showcases the incredible skill and intelligence of these animals. The photograph is part of a private collection and was originally featured in The Clever Animals Picture Book published by Ward Lock around 1945. It offers a glimpse into the training methods employed by the armed forces during that time. In the midst of World War II, troops relied heavily on cavalry units for transportation and combat support. These brave cavalrymen formed platoons within their respective regiments, showcasing their expertise in handling horses even under extreme conditions. The cliff top setting adds an element of danger to this scene, highlighting both the risks involved and the immense trust between horse and rider. As they carefully descend these treacherous heights, it becomes evident that these animals were not only exploited for their strength but also valued for their adaptability and courage. This image from mid-20th century history serves as a reminder of how humans have harnessed nature's resources throughout time. It sheds light on our complex relationship with animals while showcasing their unique abilities to overcome challenges alongside us.
