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

Well done for all the continued work all the travellers and settled people do to improve the lives of travellers. Long way to go to be accepted and treated humanly in society. Systematic discrimination against indigenous nomads of this country just isn't right. Never was, never will be. #travellerlivesmatter. The government must take accountability for people lives. People must be educated relevantly in their natural environment employing those in the travellering community to allow equal opportunities aswell as a national travellers housing programme. That would be an excellent start in the right direction. Well done all involved.

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

That Horese was almost kicked a dog! What a Horrid! 8:50

Great video should be enough for the anti travelers that talk sh.t about travelers not feeding and looking after our animals

He is one gas fella always was from his youngest days but was full of nature and you can't buy that

ARE they Roma ? Tinkers? Asking ...

What country is this that you are allowed to abuse these animals like this? And yes It is abuse, I raised, trained, drove horses an races for 30 years, we would never ever think of driving a horse on pavement other than crossing the pavement while walking them. And that so called farrier, that’s a fkn joke. When you shoe a horse you fit the shoe to the horses hoof not the hoof to the shoe. When you nail it on you use a clinch block on nails then clinch them, finally rasping off the nail heads nice and smooth. That idiot put the should 1/2 to 3/4” back off the toe, that was one of the worst I ever seen. Disgrace.

They certainly are fascinating people with an amazing culture too.

Half of them are underweight!

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.

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.

Great Film, love the bond between the boy and his horse...but im worried about that no one wears a Helmet....then i saw the picture from Patrick MC carthy, and i read that he died from Head injuries after falling from his horse. They are riding on the Street with no Helmets, the young Kids too.thats sad

Uhh that horse at 13:17 looks lame and skinny

What a positive message! Well done to everybody who helped to make TVG what it is today.

aye, champion on t'camera, like. i've seen t'other side. not easy viewing.

Good job 👍👍👍👍💙

There’s no skill in that shoeing it’s illegal

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

If you can believe it..gypsies are often reported for abusing their horses. They think more of their horses than some house dwellers do of their own children..and treat them better too boot. The stables are cleaner than some houses I have been in..including mine. 😀😉

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 ?

Four words I think that describe the traveler..family, community, passion and horses. Not necessarily in that order. 😉

Shut up country boy William I'm a traveller

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

Sorry but that farrier needs to get an apprenticeship as clearly that youngster he's shoeing isn't comfortable and he isn't the best or experienced in shoeing ☹️

Draw reigns are so tight let your horses trot normally ! Richard horse has a completely dipped beck due to them not being nice to the horse, I know they live the horses but treat them nicely and not like toys

Most of them are lame and in fed, poor things :|

Can’t understand a word

They need to banned from racing horses on the road.. They whip the horses to hard and drive them to fast it's cruelty to animals.. And this bastard behind the camera is only encouraging them.

Then hear the mug behind the camera sucking up to them as if they're something special.. I'd bet the same fellow wouldn't live with them for a month..

The bastards are a curse on the land.. They get away with murder on this island as they leave their shit everywhere and treat their animals likes shite too.. Everything is robbed by them and then sold on.. They drive around in flashy cars and the law doesn't nothing to find out how they made the purchase..

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

I see nothin wrong wi um so wat ever gorgie is saying there to young go and learn for ur self

You call that shoeing a horse ? And the horses are bloody undernourished. People in the 20th century should know better .... but oh no....” it’s me culture “

16:00 useless fucker

Them oul tinkers know nothing should be all fucked into the sea dirty smelly thieves the lot of them

I pay taxes so this little fucker can trot around all day and contribute nothing to society. Fuck off

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.

Poor little horses!! They are way too young to be hsmmered around like that. They look skin and bone too. These tinkers are ignorant and cruel!!

This I just sad to see. So many uneducated people that are blatantly abusing horses for "tradition".

Thy should send them to school learn them to read privet property would be a good start

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

This is disgusting these horses are in pain and are going way to fast on such a hard surface these horses are so underweight it’s horrible 🤮

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.

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.

If travellers loved their horses as much as they say they'd feed them properly... not break them so young... not canter on roads and that man shoeing that horse needs to be trained properly... I've nothing against travellers... just the way they treat their horses...

Although I don’t agree with how the horses are treated a lot of the time or how young they are when they are broken I suppose if the horses didn’t like what they were doin they wouldn’t do it

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.
