EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Minehead Hobby Horse in all its glory, as it leads the opening procession of Sidmouth Folk Week in 2005. This traditional English folk custom dates back centuries and is a beloved part of Somerset's cultural history.
The horse itself is a striking sight, made from painted hessian and cloth strips, with a mysterious painted mask face that adds to its enigmatic charm. As it parades through the streets, spectators are transported back in time to an era when such customs were commonplace.
The Minehead Hobby Horse is not just a piece of historical folklore - it represents the enduring spirit of England's rich cultural heritage. Its presence at events like Sidmouth Folk Week serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving these traditions for future generations to enjoy.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the power of tradition and how it connects us to our past. The intricate details of the horse's design speak volumes about the craftsmanship and dedication that went into creating such a unique piece.
In capturing this moment on film, Rights Managed has given us a glimpse into a world where history comes alive through colorful processions and age-old customs. It is truly a snapshot worth treasuring for years to come.
