March Horse Fair

The annual March Horse Fair was held in Millstreet yesterday, with lots of horses off all shapes and sizes on offer. There was a big crowd, with trade stands lining the main street and the square, a busy fair by all accounts.

Photo (right): This horse was left standing outside his horsebox in heavy rain at the Fair Field, as these lads sheltered from one of the bitter showers that came amid a day of lovely sunshine.

Below are a few more photos from the day [read more …] “March Horse Fair”
