Thread Name: Folklore: Appleby Horse Fair: A Tradition Too Far?
Subject: RE: Folklore: Appleby Horse Fair: A Tradition Too
Although I in no way agree with what happened .....lets get this into perspective.
This is the first time in the past 10 years that there has been a death at Appleby Fair.
This was the action of one individual ...... should all travellers be blamed or the Fair be banned???
If the police or the RSPCA find this individual he may or may not be prosecuted.
I would suggest that more horses die 3 Day Eventing or Steeplechasing or Fox Hunting yet no one suggests that their owners be prosecuted or that such events are banned.
