Waiting Their Turn
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Eileen Hood (circa 1920) This beautiful photograph captures the essence of the polo season, as a group of well-groomed ponies patiently wait their turn on the sidelines. The image, created by renowned British artist Eileen Hood around 1920, showcases the timeless charm and elegance of the sport. The ponies, with their glossy coats and alert expressions, seem to exude a sense of anticipation and eagerness, as if they are eager to join their riders on the field. Their tails are neatly plaited and their manes are brushed to perfection, reflecting the dedication and care bestowed upon them by their handlers. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, with tall trees and vibrant foliage providing a picturesque frame for the ponies. The sun casts dappled light through the leaves, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Eileen Hood's masterful use of contrast and composition adds depth and texture to the image, drawing the viewer's attention to the intricate details of the ponies and their surroundings. The photograph is a testament to the artist's skill in capturing the beauty and grace of polo ponies, both in their physical form and in their spirit. As we gaze at this image, we are transported back in time to a bygone era, where the pursuit of polo was a symbol of wealth, status, and refinement. The ponies' patient wait for their turn on the field serves as a reminder of the dedication, discipline, and teamwork required to excel in this ancient and noble sport.
