Margaret Harvey always seemed to be batty - and she was, indeed, horse mad. She was an excellent rider and bred several different lines of horses - Fell ponies, Dales ponies and a general line of horses and ponies from her stallion, Kestrel. I'm not sure when the following photos were taken, they were given to me by one of the girls who lived in Menston and had known Margaret for years. Margaret's real problem was that she loved all her horses and ponies and couldn't bear to get rid of them, so their numbers kept increasing. She always seemed to be on the borderline of broke, though I guess the family had money at one time. (Margaret had been a society debutante in her youth - I saw the photos and she was gorgeous!) By the time I knew her she lived with her mother (who seemed to disapprove of the horsy lifestyle) and there was a sister whom I saw once from a distance, but never met.
Margaret on Kestrel. Date unknown - possibly late 1960s
Margaret Harvey.morphlet , is this horse Honey?
Margaret Harvey is central on the horse I think is Honey. I don't know the other two riders but the horse on the left is Major and the one on the right looks like an offspring of the one in the middle. Look at their heads.
One more post and more pics to come.
