Awaiting the Start: Carrowmore Horse Races

Story
Before the horse races start on the strand at Carrowmore, spectators assemble and chat in groups. Traditional horse races would take place during low tide hours. They were held then so the horses had a wider flat stretch of sand upon which to run. The Carrowmore Races took place on Wednesdays so more people could attend the festivities as midweek was the half-day in the area when banks, stores and businesses were closed.
