EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print captured by Darren Staples, members of the Quorn hunt are seen riding out for the traditional Boxing Day meet at Prestwold Hall near Loughborough in central England. The image beautifully encapsulates the essence of equestrianism and society coming together to celebrate a longstanding tradition. The photograph holds significant historical context as it was taken seven years after a ban was imposed on hunting foxes with dogs. According to the ban, foxes can now only be killed by a bird of prey or shot, but not hunted by dogs. However, hunts continue today with participants accompanying their loyal hounds in pursuit of a pre-laid scented trail instead. The image showcases the determination and spirit of these riders as they embark on their chase through picturesque English countryside. The horses' powerful strides mirror their riders' unwavering commitment to upholding traditions while adhering to new regulations. Staples expertly captures both the excitement and elegance that define equestrianism. The vibrant colors and dynamic composition draw viewers into this timeless scene, allowing them to appreciate both the athleticism of horse and rider and the beauty of nature surrounding them. This photograph is not just about sport; it symbolizes resilience, adaptation, and unity within British society. It serves as a reminder that even when faced with change or adversity, traditions can evolve without losing their essence – an inspiring message conveyed through Staples' lens.
