George is a 15 years old cob, he is now enjoying a rest after pulling a horse drawn caravan from Nottinghamshire. DAVID MANSELL


George, is a 15 years old male black and white pie bold gypsy cob horse and he is rolling on his back and taking a well earned rest after pulling a horse drawn caravan all the way from Nottinghamshire. 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 many market store holders selling country goods, fashion clothing and equestrian equipment.
