EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming print captured by Nature, we are transported back to a simpler time in Monkton, Kent on October 26th, 1951. The image depicts an extraordinary sight that surely brought smiles to the faces of all who witnessed it. Standing proudly at the center of attention is Ginger, a magnificent nine-year-old cart horse, accompanied by his master and watched closely by amused customers and the pub's landlord, Mr. H Mills. With his harness still intact and blinkers adorning his head, Ginger seems right at home inside the public bar of the New Inn. As if taking a well-deserved break from his daily duties on the farm, he pauses for a quick pint alongside his master. This unexpected scene perfectly captures the lightheartedness and camaraderie found within rural communities during this era. The photograph radiates with warmth, humor, and undeniable fun as it showcases an unusual bond between man and beast. It serves as a testament to the strong connection forged between farmers like Ginger's owner and their loyal companions in labor. Nature has skillfully frozen this delightful moment in time for us to enjoy decades later—a snapshot that reminds us of simpler times when even horses could find respite in local pubs amidst friendly patrons' laughter.
