Scenes of sulky racing in Kilkenny are being tackled by local Gardaí this afternoon.
A number of horse owners were intercepted outside St Colmans National School in Clara just after lunchtime, and had their details taken.
It’s unknown what condition their horses are in, but a local vet also had to be called to the incident.
It’s understood that none of the horses were seized by Gardaí, and no arrests have been made.
