In this print from the 1950s, we witness a heartwarming moment between man and animal. Pride, the seven-year-old pit pony, has been honored as the "Horse of the North" at last week's prestigious Harringay horse show. Now, it is time for him to return to his noble duty at Louisa Colliery. Head horsekeeper Mr. Harry Butters stands on the left side of the frame, exuding pride and admiration for his equine companion. With gentle hands and a caring touch, he prepares Pride for his upcoming journey back into the depths of coal mining. The bond between these two beings is evident in their shared gaze - a testament to years spent working together underground. Cliff Corry joins them in this significant moment as they ensure that Pride is ready for another day's labor alongside miners deep within the colliery. This image captures not only their dedication but also serves as a reminder of an era when ponies like Pride played an essential role in supporting coal miners. As we delve into this snapshot from Memory Lane Prints by NCJ / Kemsley, we are transported back to a time when hard work was intertwined with compassion and respect for animals who tirelessly served alongside humans in challenging conditions.
