Identification
Item: Men and horses groomed and ready for the Western Hunt
Description: This photo shows four gentlemen in their hunting pinks mounted, ready for the fray. Two top hats and a working man's cap complete the outfits. Along the northern spine of west Cornwall is rough moorland; to the south are small enclosures with Cornish hedges. Cornishman V, of Olympic fame, originally hunted with the Western Hunt. The numerous small, irregularly shaped fields and heavy outcrops of gorse need an accurate hound, able to run sharply and a huntsman's skill is tested to show good sport in this difficult countryside.
