Their route from Totton ended at Balmer Lawn, where riders showed off their skills in the stream. One glam traveller wore a denim top and shorts as she rode her horse bareback through the water. Others went shirtless or barefoot, with youngsters among their number. The travellers gathered to raise money for charity - before riding back to Totton for an evening of fun. Tracy Cooper now runs the horse drive after her now retired dad Danny founded it over twenty years ago. Retired strawberry farmer and seller Danny is still a fixture at the family-run event in Hampshire. Her daughter Crystal said: "The biggest and best drive we have ever had. "Well done Mum, you put on a brilliant weekend." The horse drive also gives travellers the chance to trade horses, dogs, harnesses and carts. In 2021 it appeared in the Channel 5 documentary Here Come The Gypsies. 5 Another rider galloping through the water Credit: Solent){kind=link}
