Episode Details

A petition backed by the NSPCA has racked up nearly 20,000 signatures calling on the Ministers for Transport and Agriculture to keep sulky horses off Irish public roads — not just racing, but any sulky activity at all. Adrian and Jeremy go head-to-head on whether horses and traps have any place in modern traffic, with Jeremy calling it outdated and dangerous, and Adrian arguing councils should provide proper tracks to get the racing off the roads. Callers weigh in on animal welfare, kids driving sulkies, horrific crashes, and the “culture and tradition” defence — with plenty of rows along the way.
