I think the the ongoing Foot and mouth will be final nail in the coffin for the Horse fair. Afterall the locals are prisoners in their own homes during these fairs (just like they claim they will be during the pop concerts) and as a resident, I’d prefer concerts to mangy horses and horse shit. Not that I’m subscribing to gentrification (I just hate horses), but I do feel that the horse fair should be closed, when you see it, you understand why. Big lumps on unsuitably small ponies, the DSPCA sitting around ignoring this.
