Two horses roaming Dorset Street have been seized by Gardai. Both were left unattended on the Royal Canal at Drumcondra on Friday. A vet has checked them out and one is believed to be unwell and either had microchips.
We have come a long way from our urban spaces being full of pet horses but have we come far enough?
Henry McKean has been speaking to youths who are involved in the Clondalkin Equine Club that helps and supports teens with urban horses and he joins us now.
Henry, were people surprised to see horses on Dorset street? The images looked a little like the wild west?
