horse fair

Livestock trading event

A horse fair is a market or gathering where horses are bought, sold, and traded.

Historically these were major events in rural communities, combining commerce with entertainment and socializing.

Some traditional horse fairs persist as cultural events: The Appleby Horse Fair draws travelers from across Britain each June.
