Members of the Banwen Pony Club demonstrate valiant enthusiasm despite adverse weather conditions, on their training ground next to the slag heaps of Seven Sisters Colliery, Neath. The children's fathers are all miners and each child looks after its own pony, which is sometimes kept in the backyard at home. Half of the children ride Welsh mountain ponies, bought unbroken, and broken-in by the Club officials. Banwen Pony Club is still flourishing today.
