An ancient pictogram of a horse the size of a soccer field carved into the chalk grassland of White Horse Hill. And by "ancient," I mean already very old by the time of the Vikings. Trenches were first dug and filled with chalk three thousand years ago.

The horse requires cleaning from time to time, and this has been done since it was first created. Since time out of mind, people have joined together with hammers and buckets of chalk to whiten the lines and keep them from becoming overgrown.
