on Riding : Miss Scrimgeour's Riding School by the Sea

.




one of my own photographs- Pupils from Miss Scrimgeour's* Riding School- 1932, gallop along the sands at Selsey. She- by this time in her 70's ran one of the finest and largest riding schools in the country attracting pupils for all over Britain. 'Miss S. must be the oldest woman in the country teaching children to ride and regularly takes about 40 pupils across the firm sands for morning exercise. She breeds all the ponies herself and always wears a sou'wester.'(Fox Sept.14th.32.)
