This magnificent picture of horse and rider in peril graced the front cover of Horse & Hound in August 1969, an image that must have leapt off the newsstand, much like the horses leapt for safety off the famous bank at Hickstead.
The image in question was of John Kidd riding Grey Owl in the British Jumping Derby the previous year, a photo that was already something of an historic one given that elsewhere in its pages, Horse & Hound explained that a new, less precipitous, bank was to be introduced.
You can get a closer look at the cover, and the inside story, here.
