**A Glimpse into Equestrian History: Ladies' Four-in-Hand Club in Action**
This photograph print captures a moment of elegance and skill as Harriet Alexander, member of the esteemed Ladies' Four-in-Hand Club, takes the reins behind four horses. The image, taken by Bain News Service between 1910 and 1915, showcases the club's commitment to promoting equestrianism among women during an era when horse riding was largely seen as a male-dominated pursuit.
As Alexander expertly guides her team of equine companions through the streets, she embodies the spirit of female empowerment that defined this pioneering group. Founded in London in 1878, the Ladies' Four-in-Hand Club aimed to provide opportunities for women to develop their skills and passion for horse riding, while also fostering a sense of community among its members.
This striking black-and-white photograph not only celebrates Alexander's horsemanship but also serves as a testament to the club's enduring legacy. It is a powerful reminder that even in an era marked by societal constraints, determined women like Harriet Alexander could break barriers and achieve greatness behind the reins.
