Appleby Horse Fair
12/06/07
The
Appleby Horse Fair is held each year by Royal Charter. Horses for
auction are traditionally washed in the river and there is a plenty
to see all along the main street of the town but it was also
apparent that some of the horses being pulled in to the river were
being cruelly treated by young boys who will be the future of the
event. A horse had died as a result of being pushed under the
water. The town was awash with litter and it will take a while to
recover the town to its former glory.
