Jockey added to ancient white horse
A WHITE jockey has been added to the 3,000-year-old carving of a chalk horse on White Horse Hill near Uffington.
The figure was unveiled this morning in a stunt from betting firm Paddy Power to promote next week's Cheltenham Festival.
The 110ft tall and 200ft figure is made up of more than 200 metres of canvas.
Paddy Power has made a donation to the National Trust, which maintains the landmark.
