Description

The Litlington White Horse is a chalk hill figure depicting a horse, situated on Hindover Hill in the South Downs, looking over the River Cuckmere to the west of the village of Litlington and north of East Blatchington in East Sussex, England. The current horse was cut in 1924 by John T, Ade, Mr. Bovis and Eric Hobbis in a single night and stands at 93 feet long and 65 feet high. A previous horse was cut in either 1838 or 1860 on the same site. Since 1991, the horse has been owned by the National Trust, who regularly clean and maintain the horse along with local volunteers.
The origin and date of the original White Horse is debated. One view is that it was created by a James Pagden of Frog Firle Farm, along with his two brothers, in 1838 to commemorate the coronation of Queen Victoria. Another view is that the horse was cut in 1860 by two local boys: noticing a patch of bare chalk resembling a horse's head, they proceeded to cut away the rest of the horse to complement it.
