Women in horse trotting race at the Royal National Show Brisbane, 1948

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  Women were involved with horse racing in Australia by the 1890s. Since then, they have owned horses, trained horses, gambled on horses and attended the races. Their participation in the sport was hampered because of a lack of facilities and participation rates were not as high as other sports. In 1940, a study of 314 women in New Zealand and Australia was done. Most of the women in the study were middle class, conservative, Protestant and white. The study found that 183 participated in sport. The third most popular sport that these women participated in was horse riding, with 38 having played the sport.[9] The ninth most popular sport that these women participated in was horse racing, with 3 having played the sport. The sport was tied with billiards, chess, fishing, field hockey, croquet, squash, table tennis and shooting. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women%27s_horse_racing_in_Australia

  Excellent shot, Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums=)))

• optimal chicken said:

  It proves that the yards were very much up to date with equipment and skills at the time. A unique picture this and one I've not seen before. It reminds me of the photo series of Doxford Engines before closure. If you'd like I could link directly to here??

• Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums said:

  Hi Paul, yes please do feel free to include a link to the Doxford Engines photos. Glad you like the image, there are some more great Readhead's shots to come.

  Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums Good stuff! OK now I do not own these images nor claim the rights to them. They were linked onto a ships enthusiasts website and took the world by storm when folk saw them. They show British engineering at its best. They're also taken before health and safety became a thing! Enjoy :) www.shipsnostalgia.com/guides/William_Doxford_and_Sons
