Unsaddling at Epsom, Summer Meeting depicts the frenzied and exciting moments at the conclusion of a race at famed Epsom Downs, southwest of London. In his autobiography The Second Burst, Sir Alfred J. Munnings stated that "'Unsaddling' was my best subject,” and he returned to the Downs often to observe the whirlwind of activity surrounding the races (Sir Alfred J. Munnings, The Second Burst, London, 1951, p. 297).

Munnings fondly remembered the planning of this composition and detailed the identities of the human and equine models used, explaining to the reader, "Epsom— a grand word— stirs memories of months of work following Epsom weeks in 1929 and 1930… I write this on the lawn, with the reproduction of the picture [Unsaddling at Epsom] taken from the wall of the library leaning again the stake of a standard rose" (Munnings., p. 296-97). 

Munnings recounted that the bay at left is the mare by Glenesky, acquired from the Newmarket Sales as a three year old; she is unsaddled by Munnings’ favorite model, Tom Slocombe, who appears in blue and white silks, and is held steady by Rudge, a handyman who drove the horse-box and is dressed in a suit borrowed from the artist himself. Slocombe appears again in white and yellow silks, striding confidently across the center of the composition. The animated The Kaffir can be seen in the far distance as Chips is calmly walked towards the right side of the work. At far right, beautifully foreshortened, is the dark grey mare Magnolia, a favored horse with whom Munnings was pictured in the frontispiece of The Second Burst.

Munnings’ 1931 Royal Academy submissions were a trio of Epsom works, Going Out at Epsom and an earlier version of A Winner at Epsom—and found extraordinary success among visitors and critics alike. The Illustrated London News commented "'Monet’s landscapes,' it has been said, 'are never general. He always paints a particular and unmistakable place.' Mr. Alfred Munnings, it will be noted, has not shrunk from identifying the scene of his racing subject." ("The Royal Academy, 1931: The 'Spirit of Place'; and Sport," The Illustrated London News, May 9, 1931, p. 786). Unsaddling at Epsom was reproduced in color prints by the following year, and continued to be printed by Munnings’ dealer Frost & Reed into the 1950s.

In 1924, Munnings spent six months in America on his first and only trip to the country. He painted portraits of East Coast elites such as the Phipps family and Robert Strawbridge, Jr., and upon his return to England continued to provide idyllic scenes of English country life to Mellons, Whitneys and other American luminaries. Munnings reputation as the pre-eminent modern painter of horses, the descendant of George Stubbs and Benjamin Marshall, was firmly established in America.

Comfortable, durable, and cute — perfect everyday shoes for kids
Size: 2 Big Kid, Color: Pink Milk
I purchased these Crocs Unisex Classic Clogs in Pink Milk for my daughter and they were a perfect choice. The color was a beautiful soft pink and exactly as pictured. They were incredibly easy for her to put on and take off by herself, which was a huge plus. The lightweight material and comfortable footbed made them her go-to shoes for both indoor and outdoor play. They were durable, easy to clean, and the sizing was accurate. We have bought several pairs of Crocs over the years and these maintained the same high quality. I was very happy with this purchase and would definitely buy them again.

Toddler boy loves them!!
Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Purple, Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Purple
My toddler boy absolutely loves the color purple and he squealed with delight when he got these from the Easter bunny. They are true to size and he says they are very comfortable to wear. Easy for him to slip on by himself. He decorated them with sea animals and they are his favorite shoes to wear every day! They’ve held up great over the last month so far. Photo included of his favorite way to wear them (on the wrong feet lol). Will definitely purchase another purple pair when these get too small.

Perfect pristine condition
Size: 12 Little Kid, Color: Mint Tint
Bought this in a neutral light green for my grandson's extra shoes for his weekend visits. Got a size larger than what he wears now, so he has to wear them "four-wheel drive" (w/ straps). Honestly, I just got the cheapest in this size, because he's at that big growth time, and they'll end up in the charity box before he wears them out. Crocs are of a good quality, and seem ideal for little growing feet. They clean up easily in the dishwasher or with a little scrub in the sink. They're easily replaced, and if they get swept up by the wind and deposited into a lake, they will float and may be easily fetched up in a net and returned to the owner (true story). Crocs dry fast, and keep feet from lingering odors without additives.

They Shouldn’t Work But Here We Are
Size: 13 Little Kid, Color: Mystic Purple
Let’s address the elephant in the room: Crocs look like a rubber cheese grater had a baby with a sandal. And yet somehow these things are a parenting cheat code. The comfort is unreal (10/10). Kids slip them on and suddenly they’re walking on clouds, bouncing around like tiny caffeinated marshmallows. Cleaning them is almost suspiciously easy (10/10) mud, juice, questionable playground goo just rinse and move on like nothing ever happened. The ventilation holes (9/10) actually do their job, keeping little feet from becoming sweaty disasters, though they also double as convenient entry points for sand, pebbles, and whatever treasures your kid decides to collect. Style wise (7/10), look… no one is winning fashion awards here, but kids love them and confidence is half the battle. The heel strap (9/10) deserves a medal flip it back and suddenly your child enters “sport mode” like a video game character with boosted speed stats. The color options (10/10) are wild enough to satisfy even the most chaotic tiny human, from neon explosions to surprisingly normal shades. They’re ridiculously lightweight (10/10), which is great until your kid forgets they’re wearing them and tries to wear them to bed. Durability (9/10) is solid they can handle running, jumping, puddle stomping, and general kid nonsense without falling apart. And the independence factor (10/10) Huge. No laces, no struggle, no dramatic “I can’t do it!” moments just slip on and go. Crocs as a brand (9/10) clearly know their lane comfort over cool, and honestly, it works. Final Score: 9.2/10 They may not be pretty, but they’re practical, indestructible, and weirdly lovable like the chicken nuggets of footwear
