Well it was about time to update a few of these... Seems like the horsey crowd is changing these days so a few more had to be added in and a few should be deleted but we won't be doing that :-) Better be careful or I could be kicked out myself :-) |

A few of us started working together in Murphy's Pub Dingle between five and ten years ago. We became good friends and the best of drinking buddies! We adopted a few into our clan from time to time, some of them were given the road and good riddance, while more prooved their salts and lasted. Anyway, I have tried to compile a list of those that I can think of, and give a brief profile of each one of the albeit wannabe members of the Horsey Crowd! I haven't a photo of every one. If there is somebody else that I have forgotten or don't have a picture of email me and let me know. |
