Around 10,000 Rroma \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfrom all over Europe come together in Appleby to groom their horses, present \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tand trade them. It is striking that for once, neither stealing nor begging \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRroma are mentioned, but rather, positive aspects such as the attractiveness of \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tthe horses and the ritual of washing them are highlighted. However, it is also \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstriking that travellers, Irish Travellers and Rroma are once more amalgamated, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\talthough Irish Travellers and other travelling communities are not the same as \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tRroma. Only a fraction of the Rroma is indeed travelling. In addition, the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tstereotype of Rroma as fortune-tellers is conveyed. Arkell (2014) states: <em style=\"font-family: Arial;\">\u201cGypsies from around Europe descended on the \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tEden Valley for the annual event, where traditionally travellers parade their \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\thorses before potential buyers, racing them at high speed along the &#8216;mad mile&#8217; \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tbefore cooling them down with a dip in the River Eden. The fair, which runs \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tuntil next Wednesday, is the largest and one of the oldest of its kind anywhere \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tin Europe, attracting 10,000 gipsies and 30,000 visitors each year. [\u2026] Gipsies \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcome from around the world to meet friends, conduct business, and trade horses, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\twhile visitors come to admire the animals and visit the market stalls, palm \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\treaders, and fortune tellers\u201d <\/em>(compare Faratin 2014, The Northern Echo 2014, Williams 2014). <em style=\"font-family: Arial;\">\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Arkell, Harriet (2014) The Apple(by) doesn&#8217;t fall far from the tree!
