Here in the Philippines, we have also a horse-drawn carriages, we called them KALESA (from the Spanish word "Calesa"), Kalesas were the main public transportations in the Philippines during the Spanish period. Today, Kalesas can be found in some historical places in the Philippines. Philippine Kalesas were designed by their owners to attract more tourists

These caravans werent carriages for public transport. They were traditional homes. Today few live in them year round but keep them just for Appleby. I lived in Blackpool, a holiday town in NW England that had a large population of Romany gypsies who used to provide the fairground along the central promenade of the town known as the Golden Mile. One neighbour had a beautiful wagon parked by his house all year. We do also have carriages called Landaus used along the 7 mile promenade for tourists. Also occasionally used for weddings.

A neighbour in Blackpool had a beautiful caravan made and decorated by a local (non Romany) carpenter.

Are they cheaper in the UK? In the USA they are so expensive!

@HorseTVGlobal Жыл бұрын

Part of the higher cost is importing a horse from the U.K. quarantine costs, paperwork, health certificates, etc. It's expensive. You could probably buy it for less in the U.K., but then you have to get it across the ocean.

These caravans are decorated inside and out in traditional patterns. The Romany people are very proud of their heritage.

Here in the Philippines, we have also horse-drawn carriages named KALESA (from the Spanish word "Calesa"), Kalesas were the main public means of transportation in the Philippines during the Spanish period & before the jeepneys (Philippines' main public transportation since 1950's) came, today, some Kalesas can be seen in some historical places in the Philippines

Thanks for your inquiry. We only filmed Appleby once as each year is pretty much the same. It's a small town where tens of thousands of Gypsies and visitors crowd into ever Summer. It would be mostly impossible to try and conduct a tour as the streets are packed with people, horses, Vardos, vendors etc. Our chapter on "Merriment & Mayhem" is pretty accurate. The town by the river is packed with spectators, Gypsies and horses as they wash them in the River Eden, it's a long walk/climb up a packed and crowded narrow street to Gallows Hill where the horse trading, flea market, vendors and parking are found. This small town of about 3,000 residents swells during the Fair, as 10,000 Gypsies and 30,000 visitors pack themselves into this small town- (and never enough Porta-Potties to handle 40,000 extra people). Best advice if going is to take lots of patience and go with the flow. It's an experience for sure.

It really annoys me to watch these beautiful horses being used up like this.

What are you on about. These are well cared for draft horses. They have been bred for centuries for this. Note that the drivers also do a lot of walking by the side of the caravan. The horses are better shod than the drivers.
