The Great Fair – Horse Dealing at Ballinasloe

The Great Fair – Horse Dealing at Ballinasloe by Mark Holdstock, Photographs by Dublin in Depth

Ireland’s love affair with horses is legendary. Irish horses are among the best in the world and have found their way to its farthest corners, but for the very best of Irish bloodstock the place to come is Ballinasloe.

Here, on a field the size of several rugby pitches, you will find a sea of horses in their hundreds – Irish Draught mares and foals, hunters, a few thoroughbreds, Conemara and Shetland ponies, and the distinctive piebald Gypsy horses, prized for their trotting speed and skill.
