EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the chaotic scene at the Horse Sale at Barnet Fair in 1949. As prospective customers eagerly search for their perfect equine companion, fearless horse dealers navigate through a sea of unbroken horses, each one displaying its untamed spirit by rearing as soon as a halter is placed on its neck. Barnet Fair is renowned for its muddy and rainy conditions, but this particular year was an exception. The ground beneath the hooves of both man and beast was bone hard, creating clouds of suffocating dust that engulfed everyone present. Despite these challenging circumstances, determined buyers braved the elements to find their ideal horse amidst the chaos. The image transports us back to a time when horses were not just modes of transportation or work animals but cherished companions and partners. It serves as a reminder of the deep connection between humans and these majestic creatures. Preserved in this photograph are glimpses into a bygone era - men dressed in traditional attire negotiating with vendors while surrounded by magnificent yet wild horses. This snapshot from Memory Lane Prints allows us to witness history unfold before our eyes, offering a glimpse into an extraordinary event that has left an indelible mark on equestrian enthusiasts worldwide.
