I know it's two counties away, but is the Minehead Hobby Horse still extant and how far does that tradition go back ?

I can always remember a British Railways map of South England which gave snippets of information about lots of places, referring to it's existence. That would have been in the 1950s.

At one time the members (I think there were 3 people inside it) used to turn at Sidmouth.
