[@deansdogs30]

Best documentary I seen loved it I've had horses since I was born still get the buzz watching that thanks boyz

[@zoe-ci3xv]

So your telling me your love horses, and you love sulky racing-?

[@samjones4323]

Why.could he not love horses and like racing

[@superblanch15]

They should make more documentary like this,brilliant

[@user-mq3ey4he1e]

Great program, pity about the last race. That’s the road for ya. Back in the day we had plenty of fields. The backers

[@psycangle360]

Its a beautiful sight.Buzzing just watching. Keep on keeping on.

Never saw a group of people so happy .Makes me proud to be Irish ..

[@swinderby]

Nothing to be proud about there. What a backward country Ireland is. Why can't it be like Norway?

[@jakej2256]

Must have been a great day out for all involved, there’s nothing better than something which brings the whole community together.

[@russell-di8js]

No dodgy paving, tarrmacin' or roofing that day. The OAPs are safe for a day!

[@michelleturner6865]

A good horse is never a bad colour. Horsemen should know this. Also racing on pavement is awful for horses legs. A good horseman should know this as well. I question the horsemanship here.

[@silverkitty2503]

They are trotting. Different ball game. And some AMAZING horsemanship here.

[@amietoohey5164]

Michelle Turner 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ i drive m horse on concrete for 10 years and shes fine u can trot but not canter

[@russelrutley1577]

You keep coloured hoursed so you can recognise them after a week if your hors is ever missing you will remember it's pattern the old way

[@StevenZilm]

Thanks guys, love your work!

I would love to have a go at Sulky racing, looks like a lot of fun.. Nice video mate... Carl

[@michaelcoffey8359]

I watched this 10 times

[@eddiebirch2067]

Loved that ,great vid

[@TeamAlphaGriefing]

Why don’t they compete in Legal Irish harness racing with a track an all (it exists) if they love it so much? Racing on roads is illegal but besides that fucks up Horses legs and joints.

[@MrBuckfast]

Don't wanna spend the time/money the real racers at Portmarnock spend. It's like bareknuckle boxers v pro boxers, if can't make it pro do it on roads or fields.

[@patrickmyers183]

Seen this on CastleShane 7:00 Rd., Monaghan

[@BigBoom92]

The best advice I could give these lads would be to lose some weight it would give them huge improvements on speed and endurance. Regardless of lineage etc.

[@michaelbasher]

Could you use rubber from old tyres as horse shoes

[@Phillip-p1e]

A lot of these horses have a rubber pad between the shoe and sole of the foot ,, it helps with concussion....

[@aidanhealy8318]

[@alancawfield6549]

They should buy some land around the country and set up proper race tracks for sulky racing like they have in Australia, Sweden etc

[@lynstarick6596]

Just realized u guy existed and I think it is fab. Maybe a way to get the authorities on your side is bring in anthropologist, Psychologist, sociologist from the local university near you. To help fight for the cultural and mental health aspects of a community of people. Big thing these days especially for youth and family dynamics in a global community. Keep on breaking the rules, because it is something you guys should be proud of. wish we had something like this in Australia.

[@scarred10]

Are you on drugs?these lads have no respect for society no university is going to get involved with them.

[@indiana146]

I didnt realise how big trotting racing was

[@scarred10]

It's not big,just amongst the irish traveller ethnic minority.

[@tiernanwearen8096]

@@scarred10 there not a ethnic minority and a lot of them are tough gruntys who will drive you off the road. And give you a beating if you stand up to them. They are notorious for abusing their animals and there well known for nicking peoples dogs. They get away with it because everyone else is afraid of them.

[@tearitloosetearitloose4670]

​@scarred10 I know a lot of people into trotting. Very few of them are travelers.. get your facts straight...

Only oul dirt bred horses, best horses ran at Portmarnock owned by the Richardsons and Caffreys

[@lydiaevi4043]

I get some do treat there horses good and do the best for them and it’s nice to see him doing his best for them but personally from looking after and bringing up horses it’s not good for filly’s and colts to be raced at such a young age some aren’t even ready to be backed by a person never mind race whilst pulling a cart I worked years to back my horse cause it did it properly so I wouldn’t hurt him and they just are hurting them as much as they believe they aren’t and it’s quiet sad

Cruel, selfish, irrisponsible .. arrogant boy racers, I have seen these poor animals die from exhaustion,

[@yeetman4480]

Let me guess it from England

[@BoB10]

why don't they hire out a race track and no one would be in trouble ,

[@mrssmurf55]

Why don't they buy a field and make a race track its cruel to the horses pushing a horse out of fear with cars behind them, you can still have the trill of the race on a field track without the cruelty to the horse or putting road users in danger! Travellers have a right to their heritage but why can't it be done safely to the horse's road users and sulky drivers!

[@togmufc]

Plenty of fields for sulky racing..two in cork..THIS IS ROAD RACING

[@tiernanwearen8096]

What heritage?

[@ZuluPapa1000]

@@tiernanwearen8096 None. Even Pavee Point admit that sulky racing has only been taking place is Co Louth for a few decades and in the rest of Ireland only for the past 30 years or so.

[@MrBuckfast]

Racetrack in Portmarnock, just these horese aren't on the same level of thoroughbred trotters/pacers to race there.

[@benoshea1236]

U do realise how bad it is for the horses hooves to be working on the road

[@luadraponies]

More damage to ligaments and bones in the legs. They are making dog food. Why the road, not a track. Once upon a time it was dirt there but not now.

[@tylerstgeorge8714]

damages tendons and bones on hard concrete especially as the horses are not even fully matured

[@Phillip-p1e]

Most of the horses ( trotters ) have a rubber pad between the shoe and the sole of the foot to absorb pressure and help with concussion...

[@tiernanwearen8096]

I wonder why the antis never turn up to sabatogage these events?

[@Lee-nh5bb]

" Do any of the girls have any interest? " " Nah, it's a men's thing." Girls ADORE horses. It's wrong not to encourage them simply because of gender. Makes no sense. Results wise, we had a young woman who won the Melbourne Cup a few years back, no mean feat. Anyone who's interested should be encouraged. It's a HUMAN thing, to be passionate about horses and want to work with them. That attitude really spoils it.

[@howardmckeown7187]

why don't they use a stallion homozygous for colour and they'd always get a coloured foal

😂😂😂😂 made my day that quick wit im a horseman and although it was hard to take descision not to ride my current mare any longer it was correct choice as i am 28 and my mare beauty a welsh C section cross with dale is 21 now and although she is a cob type and strong it would never be fair on her to carry a full grown adult so she will retire soon but will have the best quality of life still as she reaches her twilight years i love horses some of these lads llve them and it can be seen however a real horseman/woman should know that alot of these horses are too young have to lunge long rein school and desensitize them to things before even thinking of backing or trotting them.

[@johnprice7303]

Law breaking knackers!

[@mmcdonald6034]

[@andythesoupdragon]

I get the impression most of them have horses because it's so damn expensive to put a tax disc on a car, 1835 euros for a big 3 litre car. A 1 litre Fiesta's tax ain't a bargain either. I'd have castrated the lot of them. 100 years later they'd be extinct. & then the horses would do what they were meant to.

Race at night. Couple of , head torches from Aldis per horse. Maybe even an Irish Rodeo? A GYPODOE. Lassoing a Buckeroo and clowns with empty barrels

[@luadraponies]

This is obviously unlawful. The hoards hanging out of moving cars and blocking the road.

[@helenahusky2787]

Hey lads that trotting ain't no good for your trotters legs! You say they are looked after,why trot on hard ground! It's a fantastic way of breaking your horse legs!!!!!!!

[@wetarez]

this is animal abuse, dangerous, damages legs and feet. This is a big problem in the UK. These vile individuals consider animals theirs to use and abuse. They often shoe and race foals as young as 10 months towing full grown men. When a horse falls and can't get up they take the cart and harness leaving the animal at the side of the road.

[@davidsmyth8647]

Public roads are just that & not private race tracks. Disrespect for the rest of society. Do your hobby & sport in the correct place - no bs excuses.
