The third, and last, batch of the candid impressions (none of the photos in this set is posed or set up) snapped at the opening day of the 2025 Ballinasloe Horse Fair (County Galway, Ireland), the oldest horse fair in Europe, held since the first half of the 1700s. All horse owners and buyers, horse riders and lovers of horses from the region and the whole island gather during this week in Ballinasloe. It is a traditional meeting place of the Irish Travellers as well, who resemble in their lifestyle to the Roma (Gypsies), yet there are not genetically connected with them. The Travellers diverged from the Irish about 500 years ago. www.nature.com/articles/srep42187
