		Over towards the White Horse, the route passes a gliding club, which is very popular, as the winds sweeping up the edge of the moors provide good uplift to help keep the gliders airborne.
		At the White Horse, which is made from limestone chippings laid on the hillside, there were still quite a few people around despite the weather.
		Shortly after my visit, an item appeared on the television news showing a new treatment that was being applied to the horse to make it whiter, as the limestone chippings are rather grey, especially in damp conditions, whereas the new surface is a brilliant white.

	Hunters Horse Around
		An anonymous group of disgruntled hunters have taken to the English countryside and used the chalk figures of the Bronze-Age Uffington Horse ("Timeless Thoroughbred," September/October 2001) and the nineteenth-century White Horse of Kilburn as billboards to advertise their cause.
		This most recent act of defilement marked the end of a summer that opened with an anatomical augmentation to the chalk figure known as the Long Man of Wilmington, presumably an attempt by May Day pranksters, in the spirit of the fertility celebration, to help the monument live up to his name.
		Both the Long Man and the horses have now returned to their original states, the work of the vandals washed away by rain.

		The horse was designed and financed by Thomas Taylor, a native of Kilburn, and cut in 1857.
		Unlike the horses in the south of England which are cut into chalk and are therefore naturally white and virtually self-preserving, the Kilburn White Horse is cut into limestone which is the wrong colour and needs artificial whitening.
		The charms on the bracelet each represent an aspect of local life: a Cleveland Bay horse, a starfish, a cat after Cat Nab and a pigeon to celebrate the local pastime of pigeon fancying.

	Unexplained Mysteries Discussion Forums > Silbury Hill - what is it?
		It is a very common misconception that most of the white horses and other figures around the country are ancient, but it just isn't true - the majority of them don't even require archaeology to date them, we know exactly when they were dug, by whom, and why!
		Interestingly, the Westbury white horse which is there now is believed to have been cut over (thus obliterating) an earlier white horse.
		It is possible that the earlier white horse was ancient, but certainly not proven.
