As usual a police presence was deployed with dozens of police officers on the streets and around the town of Stow in the Wold as well as patrolling on the ground which gave police officers the opportunity to meet the gypsy community during the Stow Horse Fair. Police officers take down the details from this woman regarding the purchase of a horse at the Stow Horse Fair. A Royal Charter dating back to 1476, has allowed people for over 500 years to descend on the Gloucestershire Cotswold market town of Stow-on-the-Wold for the May and October one day bi-annual gypsy gathering of the Stow Horse Fair. Today the modern fair still consists of the public and horse dealers buying and selling horses, especially the now popular black and white gypsy cob horse, as well as the many market store holders selling country goods, clothing and equestrian equipment.
