I have always been fascinated by the relationship between Dublin and horses. It’s rare to find these beautiful creatures basically kept in a city as pets. I took this photo in May on Thomas Street using my mobile phone.
I have lived in Dublin since 2014 and I am from Italy. I can see the good and the bad of this city and I love both.
