It’s the late 1800s, and a caravan of brightly colored covered wagons moves slowly through the Irish countryside. The hand-carved detail on the ornate coaches are surpassed in beauty only by the equines that pull them. The nomadic people known as the Travelers or Roma from the United Kingdom walked alongside their wagons to help ease the burden for their cherished horses. The horses pulled dutifully, long manes and tails blowing in the breeze, their feathered legs rippling with each step.
