The high-relief rider sits proudly atop a perfectly poised Hackney horse, captured mid-step, every muscle and strap rendered with sculptural precision. It feels ceremonial, almost cinematic, evoking early twentieth-century show grounds: polished tack, crisp coats, and the low murmur of spectators as champions were announced. This is not decorative silver. This is a prize, earned, presented, and cherished.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHandcrafted in sterling silver and fully hallmarked in Birmingham with the anchor, lion passant, date letter “x” for 1922, and maker’s mark “Mn\u0026amp;Wb” for Mappin \u0026amp; Webb, the medal measures approximately 63.3 x 44.3 x 16.4 millimeters overall including bale, with a substantial thickness of 5.2 mm. Total weight with box is 120.3 grams; the medal alone weighs 48 grams. The original fitted presentation box weighs 72.3 grams and bears the gilt stamp of the Hackney Horse Society, along with handwritten details: 25043. Garton Lady Hopwood. W.T.G. Young. Bridlington, 1923. The medal has been thoughtfully adapted for wear with a sturdy silver bale, while retaining its authentic surfaces and beautiful age patina.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhat makes this piece truly remarkable is its completeness: prestigious maker, official hallmarks, named award, original box and a tangible connection to Britain’s golden age of equestrian competition. Whether worn as a powerful statement pendant or kept as a collector’s object, it carries real provenance and undeniable presence. This is heirloom silver in the truest sense; a historic award transformed into wearable history, rich with narrative and soul.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI offer free layaway on most items purchased for full retail price, please inquire if you are interested in setting up a layaway.
