I get a kick out of life when I see lads on their horses,it stops me in my tracks,lifts my spirits for the day, it just amazes me that they ride bareback.Hopefully this tradition stays as a piece of Dublin's history.

What a beautiful culture! I wish your horse culture never dies. Fight with all the strength you have, it's a great cause. Riding horses is freedom. Here in Paris, it's all been gone for a long time. All the best to you guys, keep every inch of that culture, keep going, keep riding!

I meet and speak to people from all over the world and I can say that the Dublin working class are the salt of the earth and some of the nicest people I have ever met, very family and community orientated.

Bleedin Deadly...Grew up with horses in Ballyfermot and worked on a four wheeler selling coal & logs & briquets all around Dublin. Smithfield was were I got me first pony and I kept him in a yard in Bluebell beside JFK Ind Estate , Absolutley loved it and still do. I have two youngfella's meself now and there getting into it , It's a part of Dublin Culture and always will be...!!

"This is Dublin Ireland....Horses are in our blood !" What a documentary this really is i cannot fathom these words enough

What a report,my god! Congratulations to all the people involved in it.

Beautiful film, brought tears to my eyes

I'll tell you here in Mayo livestock is kept in fields in towns. Most livestock in a town is generally horses and donkeys. And then out rural we have all sorts from cattle to poultry to pigs ect. So me seeing this in Dublin brings a smile to my face. A staple of Irish villages towns and even cities is farming or at least keeping livestock. And a horse is more than livestock. I believe that the people of Dublin who have horses should have access to proper stables if they don't have any. The government in Ireland is useless. They have the power to help all these equestrians and they're not. I wish great happiness and success on the horse people of Dublin. Dia linn ar do chroí

Born in England raised in finglas used to love going home, seeing horses tied up by a house yet just as loved as the kids in bed . RIP Little Paulie

Gracias una bella manifestacion de cultura, fragil ,de cuidado y como todo lo que se opone a la cultura neoliberal silenciado y desconocido para much@s, gracias por este hermoso film,saludos a cada uno de los irlandes@s por ese amor a su lengua y su cultura,gracias.

This is so stunning! Well done, so happy to see Dublin represented here

Love this Documentary i have watched it over so so many times and i have now removed my prejudice i had before of the horses been ill treated on these estates. They are cared for and exercised better than most horses in other regions that are maybe locked up in stables. The physique on their horses is second to none and cannot be argued when you see the physique of them. Best scene i keep replaying out of many on here is 5.17 onwards to buddie smiling with sunglasses on riding the horses down the main street bareback and the smiles of the 2 of them is so satisfying to see. Amazing is an under statement....these guys would do well in a high end sport training horse facility as they know them inside and out. AMAZING GUYS....Hope you keep the horse culture going in Dublin...Should be a petition put on youtube with this documentary at the top of it. Again totally changed my perception of where i was beforehand for the second time

I rememeber back in the 90s there was a horse in every field in every working class estate. Times are a changing

Omg this has made me miss Ireland so much! Can’t wait to move back home one day!

Such a unique, beautiful part of Dublin culture compared to other capital cities. Hopefully it survives!

Great production. Magnificent shot of the horse on the beach. well done. I long to see more accommodation for irish horse culture especially in Dublin.

You guys should know that if you gallop a horse on pavement it is very easy for the horse to slip and fall if he has metal horse shoes on him. Careful please!!

This is so beautiful! I never knew about this about Dublin

Sad to see that, but God how I miss Dublin ❤️

this is really good shot!visual&sound are successfully processed.

Absolutely beautiful short documentary about dublin inner city.

Beautifully shot, thank you for this video.

I'm in this group, keep the culture and heritage alive. One time owner of horse's and dogs., it's just in us to be around animals and love them like we do. ✊☘️

AND wtf the guy slapping the horse with the bridle on the beach at the end

Great video lads. Well done Marion and all the team and contributors

True heart of Dublin fair play to all keeping the tradition alive really injoyed this video

The government should b funding these chaps keep the old Dublin tradition going it’s a disgrace the media

Stunning soundtrack and video, and horses and people

Fantastic short documentary, beautifully shot and edited.

This made me cry 😢love the Irish Dublin lads and all xxxx

Wow, beautiful documentary, also the soundtrack is amazing!

Thank you all. Well done and hope you see your vision. W. Wonderful and lovely documentary ❤

Here in Los Angeles affluent people ride horses but so do people in the inner city. People ride horses in Compton for example, I've seen dudes riding off Compton Ave

They're some beautiful horses, cryin here

This is beautiful - Thank you

I miss Dublin so much 💚 love this

Fantastic piece of work.

My big problem is, it’s to easy to get a horse. It’s the same with dogs. A lot of the young lads haven’t a clue how to look after them. But, this is Dublin, and we need to respect traditional old Dublin ways

That song in the beginning is so beautiful, anyone know where to find it?

Loved watching it, thank you

True Dublin right here!!

beautiful horses and beautiful video

respect from the uk

0:28 he's a great singer

Beautiful.

Wow - very good storytelling

Great show, the horses are great, I miss them, some buzz

I hope you guys get to keep your horses they are beautiful ❤️

Im dumbfounded,, got my head spinning,, blinding 8,39 time line,,

At its best there is much to be said for these people keeping horses BUT I see no Winter shelter, rugs etc. also there is much cruelty and ignorance. It takes both money and know how to keep a horse. My Lovely Horse Rescue is dealing with such cases all the time.

Can anybody tell me who is singing casadh an tsúgáin at the beginning? I love that voice. This song has so many versions but i fell in love with this voice 😍 An bhféadfadh aon duine a rá liom cé hé a bhfuil ag canadh Casadh an tsúgáin ag tús an amhráin? Is breá liom an ghuth sin. Tá an amhrán seo á chur in iúl ar chomh maith le go leor leagananna eile, ach thit mé i ngrá leis an nglór sin. 😍😍😍

They seem to have no clue what they are doing. To me they are neglecting the horses, poor things.

Fantastic

Fantastic lads keep doing what yous enjoy horses in top shape 👍👍

Well if some of the greatest race horse trainers this country has ever produced couldn’t remain in the Phoenix park thanks to the OPW what chance do these poor sorts have ! There should still be a gallop in the Phoenix park still in fact the remnants of the old one are still there . There should also be boxes to rent bordering this area under the stipulation that safety equipment etc is worth. Of course carefully constructed agenda s to vapourise this tradition long held in Dublin for the sake of unscrupulous builders most of which have no real lineage to these areas! Country folk and snobs in general should remember Eddie Macken Trained in Mespil rd in the city as well as the brilliant Jim Bolger who trained in the park and worked in the city amongst many other s of notoriety and if these calibre of folk where still in the city these lads -lassis would have work without having to leave their families and communities behind and be educated to a higher standard regard s their passion! Not every culchie wants to be a farmer and like wise not every towny wants to push a pen , this is a travesty for every socio economic cohort in the city not just the working classes ! Time to decentralise and allow Dubs of all classes a chance to renew these long held traditions in a safe manner, Im sure there are kids from wealthy area s who suffer as much as working class youth as a result of this land grabbing, by people who know the price of everything and the value of nothing!

Great video!

What a beautiful way of Life 😘! JO JO IN VT 💕😄🇺🇸

Rip to Jerry farmer one off the most wonderful men you could ever meet worked with him for years on the green would have everyone in great humour fantastic man and great sons 🙏👍👍

Anyone know the song the lads singing at the beginning?

Keep this culture alive at all costs

What's the soundtrack anyone please ?

Beautiful ❤️❤️🍀🇮🇪

I got a rake of horses and I love them

Beautiful

Quality content

Its a pity they didn't interview someone from My Lovely Horse Rescue to give a balanced perspective on the so-called Dublin city horse culture

Video made my day fair play to yous boys.

Gave me a completely different perspective on people who keep horses in Dublin. These horses are well looked after, but unfortunately it's others who are going to ruin it for the horse lovers.

What’s the song in the beginning?

Home ❤️

Ireland has a Long History of HORSES❤

Brilliant unfortunately the lads and girls have a battle that started back in the 80's with the inpounding of our horses then the council's tried the sneaky approach claiming to be helping these dedicated people while imposing rules that forced a lot of good people out , keep it going all in our blood and history yup

i’m 43 now i kept horses all my life use to have the land for them it’s all a built up place now but i miss the horses it was passed down to me by my father bless him all the fairs great times easier to keep back in the day i’d love to get back into them it’s not easy now need land i got the best of animals pounded and it kept happening the fuckers took all my ponies i love them horses with a passion it’s a great thing to get into keep the kids of the streets great so let no one take your horses they bring the pigs anyway

Ok first of all nice piece of film we got here. As a horseowner myself I really do get the bond people form with their horses. And it’s nice to see that. However the city is not a safe place for a horse both mentally and physically. They need nice open landscapes with woodlands for rain cover, and nice fresh air (since horses have really sensitive airways). What they don’t need is scrapyards stables (or any stable for that matter) and pavement. So it is sad to say that it is not realistic to keep horses and this tradition in a growing gentrifcation (which I don’t condone) city. I do think that big real estate companies ruin a city with their capitalists minds and making it only better for the rich. Which is really sad… However if you truly look at the needs of horses, they need land over city, a herd and a Loveling owner who treats them with respect and kindness. I'm not saying that the community doesn't do that, but I do think that humans can get stuck in their head and keeping things the same way. Therefore you don't learn and never get better. I hope there is a way in which the community can keep the tradition but also in a healthy way for the horses. Move to the suburbs or have a nice horse friendly facility just outside the city. And maybe once a year an annual parade through the city and celebrate the horses and traditions that come with them.

The Irish people should always have horses.

Once you look after your horse, the amount of young that don't. If you can't look after a horse then don't keep. One

My grandmother was born in ROI, and I have a lot of cousins there. I haven't been to visit yet though, from Canada. Out of five children, I'm the only one who took to horses like a duck to water, learned to ride bareback, scrounged rides wherever I could as my parents weren't about to buy me a horse. I learned to be a pretty good rider, and I eventually got my own, 2 Thoroughbreds off the track who were to go for slaughter, and one Anglo Arab, all abused. I just wonder if it's something in the blood or genes to take to horses like I did, a sort of insanity in a way. Everyone else can go get stuffed, the horses are what counts.

💜💜💜💜💜

Mark are we reindroducing street horses? Because i want one if we are embracing tradition

God they need to learn to ride, stop balancing on the horses mouths

Sadly those areas are labelled from media reports ( moral panic ) , criminal activity is caused by strain and environment caused by political failure to invest in these areas . Don't judge just think if the council and local government came together to invest in equine centre in these areas . Where those horse s would get more care and those whom own horses get more opportunities to achieve there means .

My dad is a Dublin man.

Well then you guys need to sort out the ppl who don't look after them..

Are these still available for public viewings or public horse riding with a fee ?, would be cool to shoot some good features with those beautiful stallions

I sympathize with the aspirations of these people, but I don't believe a city is a place for a horse. Perhaps the government can designate a place for horse-keeping and horse-riding, but regular streets needn't be made accessible to horses.

Are the urban horse owners all Irish travelers or other people too?

Featured in the top 10 videos of the day on walnut.tv/curious

Such a beautiful culture

Those children should be kept in school to get a good education, because there’s no future in urban horses anymore it’s not the nineteenth century.

As a vet who regularly has to put down horse due to horrific neglect of these animals by this particular demographic, there’s nothing glorious about these individuals and their abuse of animals

Gentrified is a nasty word to working class folk, it's state sponsored bullying. EIRE32

Racing horses on concrete is terrifying for the horse and endangers its legs as the metal shoes slipping risk its life... Don't care how romantic this film make it out, its cruel.

The lads on the horses stayed away from hard drugs they loved the horse so much and Dublin is better place because of them lads EIRE32

They should worry more about the Africans & Muslims their govt are handing passports left right and centre....

Here - horses ride people.
