'Dedham Lock, or The Leaping Horse', 1825, (1922). View of the Suffolk countryside, with a horse leaping a barrier by a sluice near the River Stour. Barge horses were trained to jump over three-feet-high barriers which were erected along the tow-path to keep cattle from straying. From "Bibby's Annual 1922", edited by Joseph Bibby. [J. Bibby & Sons, London, 1922]
