It has been great for the Traveller men to take part in the project.

They have learnt loads about horses from the vets.

During the project we learnt a bit about the rules of the road and also the effect that prescription medicine, drugs and alcohol has on how quickly we can react to a dangerous situation. The community Guard was very friendly and great craic too.

The Farrier is a Traveller too so it was great to learn from one of our own. He knew loads and made us think about a job with horses.

Horses today have to be microchipped and have a passport. To get this done, you need to go to a vet who fills in a marking sheet, this shows your horses colours and special markings. This is not expensive to get done and means that your horse is official and you have more rights.
