This is the best film I have ever seen. Thank you 🙏

I will always have a respect for parents encouraging their children to have responsibility and love for their animals. How happy these children look and their horses, the have a job to do and they all take it very seriously and not one bloody phone or tablet in view. They are so helpful and supportive of each other. We could all learn a lot from the lifestyle and such parenting! Shame on everyone for judging what they do not know about.

I really enjoyed that !! It done a excellent job of portraying horse culture in a positive light. Ride on !!

horses from travellers are the best they raise them to have great minds

Mother was from County Cork, and was a great horsewoman living in Colorado. She taught me and my 4 sisters everything necessary to become great horse people. Love the horse, the music, the culture, and me irish clans, God it is great to be Irish!!!

Think the horses rather play with the folks than standing idol in the field. These spirited people are good to see #paceoflife

They certainly are fascinating people with an amazing culture too.

Travellers horses left tethered on waste ground near industrial estates, old factories and power stations here in the UK. Never seen anyone go check on them. Saw two left near where I work on the shore of an estuary, high tide and rain came and the pair were almost lost, had to be rescued by the local farmers. This video is a bit far fetched, obviously for people who know no better. The trad music is a bit of a laugh too, never seen it played in Ireland except for the tourists, local people don't bother with it. Anyone with anything about them leaves the country, people are Irelands biggest export. Travellers just give the Irish community here in the UK a bad name.

A very romantizied view. Horses are being raced far too young (6 months upwards) and often handled roughly. Sad really that this issue is not being addressed in the video.

They're running the legs off foals! Horses need to be ATLEAST 3 before they do anything, Cobs like these don't stop growing until 8. Some of these babies were not even 12 months old. Vile vile vile.

A lot of these ponies are TOO YOUNG TO BE WORKING. They are smashing animals, very nicely bred and l understand the passion and pride. But they are TOO YOUNG. Leave them to 2 or 3 year olds before you start them.

If you think their language is difficult..try talking to a native born glaswegian. I once had a conversation with a glaswegian In a bar..the only word i understood was trout..as for the test..i just nodded along and smiled when he did. I was playing catch up at every word. It was like trying to catch a runway horse..boy he spoke fast. I could see the glasses rattling on the bar as he spoke in rapid sentences. The draft from his mouth blew the head off of my beer and formed a whirlpool in my pint glass. And some people think they are lazy...joking right ?

❤❤❤❤❤❤

I just went to the comment section to ask which kind of shoes these horses wear, to have a grip on the road... And if it wasn't hurting their legs to run on such hard ground. That was until I saw the other comments... A horse that I once rode got unsettled, near a street by a car and tried to take off with me still on top of it, and I remember how hard it skidded on the tarmac. I felt like the horse and me were on ice with these iron shoes! Anyway, in life things are often not perfect and even if its not the best for the horses to run on tarmac, I bet the Travellers don't do it every day with them. They seem to love their horses and they look well fed and brushed. I bet those horses have a better life than many horses at commercial riding schools! I wish those people their horses, which are an essential part of their culture. And let's be honest here, they may be racing their horses on hard ground sometimes, meanwhile we are torturing our mass produced meat, egg and milk " supply" every day in masses!

These horses are beautiful and IMO, well kept in a general sense.... my ONLY issue is the running/trotting on the roads. With shoes on, they dont get much traction either and can easily slip and fall. not to mention the pounding the legs take as the hooves have no give. its like a marathoner running barefoot. It is also soooo not good for the horses legs. I would like to know how many break down and see xray reports on their legs.

They are riding on the Street with no Helmets, the young Kids too.thats sad

any family coming to heol-ycyw?

If you shape the shoes to the foot instead of just nailing them on the horse will go a lot better 👍

I guess the female travelers who adore horses get to stand around and watch….just lovely. Most of the guys on horseback were far too large for the ponies they were burdening, and I couldn’t watch the horses trotting to hard on the paved roads. They were really thin, as well.

I have great respect for them, and let’s be fair they get a bad deal, anyway that’s my opinion.

Only problem I have is this is that they are far to skinny , from the back it’s just bones
