EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the thrilling moment during a rehearsal for the Royal Tournament of 1932, as Life Guards soldiers skillfully ride their horses bareback, preparing for a daring display of horse-jumping at Olympia. The image showcases the raw power and agility of both the riders and their steeds, as they leap over high obstacles with ease and precision. The soldiers, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and helmets, display a sense of focus and determination, while their horses, with muscles taut and ears pricked, mirror their riders' intensity. The Royal Tournament, an annual equestrian and military spectacle, was a cherished tradition in British cultural life during the 1930s, attracting large crowds and showcasing the skill and horsemanship of the cavalry. This photograph offers a glimpse into the meticulous rehearsal process behind the scenes, as the Life Guards honed their craft and prepared to entertain the public with their breathtaking stunts.
