"Mokes day out". Far from sitting down on the job
" Mokes day out". Far from sitting down on the job, these donkeys were difficult to stop when they took part in Cornwalls annual " Donkey Race". The race this year was again won, with much braying, by " Chapion", 15-year-old donkey " Star", driven by his owner Charlie Allan, who has won the event " umpteen times" before. for all their high spirits, though, the mokes normally earn their living by hauling general goods on small carts.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled ""Mokes day out"" captures the lively and spirited atmosphere of Cornwall's annual Donkey Race. These hardworking donkeys, far from sitting down on the job, showcased their determination as they thundered through the racecourse with great enthusiasm. Amongst them, a 15-year-old donkey named "Star" stood out as the ultimate champion, driven by his skilled owner Charlie Allan. With much braying echoing in the air, this thrilling event was not only a testament to these incredible animals' speed but also to their integral role in hauling general goods on small carts. The photograph, taken circa 1965 by Mirrorpix for Memory Lane Prints, transports us back to an era where traditions and customs were celebrated with fervor. In this snapshot of history from the 1960s, we witness men and women cheering on these magnificent creatures as they compete in chariot-like races. The image encapsulates both the excitement of competition and our enduring connection with animals. It serves as a reminder that even though these mokes normally earn their living through laborious tasks, they too deserve moments of joy and recognition for their remarkable abilities. This print is not just a visual representation of racing donkeys but also an embodiment of community spirit and tradition that has been cherished throughout generations in Cornwall.
