EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the excitement and elegance of the Fancy Dress Steeplechase at Haywards Heath. Miss Sheila Price, adorned in a stunning fancy costume, fearlessly guides her pony "Polymint" over the hurdles with remarkable grace and skill. The Costume Race was one of the highlights of the Haywards Heath Horticultural Society's summer show held in Victoria Park, Sussex. Taking place on July 9th, 1936, this event was a delightful novelty among mounted competitions during that era. Every rider participating in this steeplechase had to don full fancy dress attire, adding an element of whimsy and spectacle to an already thrilling race. The monochrome composition adds a timeless quality to this photograph, transporting us back to a bygone era between the wars. It serves as a testament to both the enduring charm of equestrian events and the creativity displayed through extravagant costumes. Preserved by TopFoto. co. uk for posterity, this image is not just a mere snapshot but rather a window into history.

As we gaze upon this remarkable moment frozen in time, we can't help but be captivated by Miss Sheila Price's daring jump over those hurdles – an extraordinary feat accomplished with style and finesse amidst an atmosphere filled with joyous celebration.
