Lived like this on the road for a year back a few years ago - sure miss the lifestyle. Had a couple Clydes pulling our own hand build caravan - real nice wagon, still have the wagon, but someone stole our horses and could never afford new ones - so now we are without. Wagon stored away and living off grid in a small cabin - just not the same - miss the horses - we sure loved them.
Hey Surius,love to an other Traveler.I can't even imagan the pain you must have had!!!Did it hapend while on the road?They stole my two Harnesses ,made new ons with scapps ends and pices,well you know we make wonders out of nothing when on the road.Still kept on travelling for two years longer.At least you have your Vardo,they stole mine,also self build while i was in Tahiti where i also live.Toke me 8 years to build.Be save!!!

@@erhardlux5327 - and folk have the nerve to call us all thieves and vagabonds. They did not get my harness or wagon- thankful for that,but I would have preferred it to loosing the horses - we had 4 - one Clyd stallion, a 4 year Belgian mare, a 5 yr Percheron X and her 6 month Clyd filly - all very well trained and awsome horses (OH and it was a "good Christian" who stole them = just one of the MANY reasons I can't stand Christianity - I am not against the Bible - just the godless Hypocrite Christians). If I can ever afford new horses I would go back on the road and never come off again - that's how I lost them - I let someone -the Christian - talk me into boarding them for a week or two -here while we stayed in an motel - won't ever do that again - should have stayed int he wagon - it was heated with a small heater we had built especially for it - we also hand built it - it is 7' x 16' - very roomy - built it with Pine so it is very light - top is a heavy Canvas from a Bill-board sign- they make great water-proof tops. Yes we also know what it is like to have to piece together harness - and make do with things one finds along the journey - we also worked doing odd jobs - kept life from being dull - ha, ha. Pray you get another "Vardo"- Caravan wagon - if you loved it as much as we, I know how much you are missing it - God's blessing be to you.

@@oliverstaf1996 they weren’t called the Hedgerow Crawlers then and there were more than just 3 people who all just came round and ended up playing one of Pete’s songs. Jerry was playing the whistle, and a very good musician he was too. It was over 20 years ago. I’d known Dave from school and had only just met Pete. It was just a jam session that was recorded. Drew wasn’t there, it wasn’t a band. Pete knows who I am, I’ve just changed my first name 👀
Love to see being on the on the road.Just read trough some of the comments ,how stupid can some people be ,just judging by the comments.Been on the road my self,over in France,from Nice to the Spanisch Border and in to the middle of France.3 and a half years on the Road,pure joy.Been painting all over ,people bought my Art,loved it and miss it. A new age Traveller.
the puppie are so cute and every year i go whif my dad to the horse drarwn canmp and PARY i love it the horses have mustasis is so funny !!!!!!!!! @ @ U
Do the horses feed only on grass and is there any specific type? I'm a potter, my love's a tanner, in Hungary, we've got our marshland, but are arranging so that during the summer we reestablish the tradition of selling off horse-drawn carriage. The other I know of is with the Grey Cattle, but we're looking into horses rather.
Do they travel all year ? And currently in the move? Or they settle in same place for long periods ? Would be interested to find out more if any one can point me in right direction
No I believe they are New age travelers,, but it's nice to see no negative blogs about them,, I am part Irish traveler and do I get some shit off people (Not to my face) I don't bovver any one and Don't leave a mess I have 7 acre smallhold,,for my horses and self,, see what the keyboard hero's say about Appleby and have not been,, We don't all steal and eat hedgehogs,,
@@pegknife Hundreds of Rom and Sinti babies were born in house through forced resettlement and stolen chavvees. They been forced settling travling folk for centuries.

these people aint diddicoys or junk leaving tinkers. whot's more their human beings, and should be treated as such with respect not hounded by local townies. and calling them gypsies is actually an insult ? travellers or romaine's is the correct term
Great video enjoyed watching it. Looks hard work but a good way to live. Beautiful puppies, horses, wagons & good music
What a wonderful way to live I am proud to be a traveller myself ☘️🇮🇪👍
Well said so you should be ....
Where can we get one of these for cheap in America?

ANTHEM FOR LIFE
Do the horses feed only on grass and is there any specific type? I'm a potter, my love's a tanner, in Hungary, we've got our marshland, but are arranging so that during the summer we reestablish the tradition of selling off horse-drawn carriage. The other I know of is with the Grey Cattle, but we're looking into horses rather.
Very confused, I recognize a couple of the wagons,from decades before, just not the people with them?
lovely*
Did you guys built your own caravans or did you buy them? I would like one in the future so any tips would be great
hetaliafanserviceplz they build them. Pete does it for a living. Building, decorating and selling them. He’s built 14 so far.
Do they travel all year ? And currently in the move? Or they settle in same place for long periods ? Would be interested to find out more if any one can point me in right direction
