EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1926, we witness the remarkable Miss Cecillie Nickalls showcasing her incredible talent as she takes the last ball at the Pony Gymkhana in Rochampton, England. With a determined expression on her face, Miss Nickalls proves herself to be an agile and fearless champion. The event was no ordinary race; it required both nerve and dexterity, as well as an agile mount. As the winner of the ball and bucket race, Miss Nickalls demonstrated exceptional coordination between herself and her horse. Her ability to maneuver through obstacles with grace and precision earned her well-deserved recognition. Dressed in a classic hat that adds to the historical charm of this image, Miss Nickalls stands tall atop her majestic steed. The focus is solely on her in this full-length shot, capturing every ounce of determination exuding from this young woman. This vintage photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to female athleticism during an era when women's participation in sports was still relatively uncommon. Miss Cecillie Nickalls' triumph at the Pony Gymkhana showcases not only her own skill but also highlights how women were breaking barriers and making their mark in various fields. As we admire this historic snapshot captured by Underwood Archives for Universal Images Group (UIG), we are reminded of the timeless power of perseverance, agility, and passion for one's craft.
