Last week, Perry Ogden graced the runway of his lifelong friend and Irish designer Simone Rocha’s Autumn/Winter 2023 show. Another Man re-ran the interview with Perry about his 1999 series Pony Kids.
Perry Ogden’s book ‘Pony Kids’ documented the extraordinary horse culture that evolved in the 90s in the housing estates surrounding Dublin. Unemployed teens from low-income families living in public housing began keeping their ponies on patches of green in the city wastelands.
These images are a time capsule before the Control of Horses Act was enacted in 1997. Now, the unsettled, outcasted kids are an extinct tribe. This book is now a classic in outsider documentary photography and is incredibly rare.
