Horse breeders Abraham Rogers and a colleague encourage a cob foal back in the horse box at the Stow Horse Fair. DAVID MANSELL
Horse breeders Abraham Rogers ( left ) and a colleague gently but firmly encourage the young foal to follow it's mother back up in to the horse box 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.
