I respect your right to comment and I will leave it up, but why would you choose to attack the young Minehead people who put their hearts into making and showing their Horse? It was brilliant and fun and a great Colt. They are the future and we are proud of them.

The sailette is not traditional and is not trying to be due to this she will not be taken to any of traditional routes over the May Day period and was created for fun and charity. As for black devil yes it is a traditional horse but is traditionally from Dunster and was smashed to pieces many years ago after one year attending cher. The reason for this was that original crew members believed for the right to attend Cher the horse must go to white cross. I can’t remember seeing it there!

Sailettes thing is not traditional at all unlike the Black Devil which has been talked about in spoken folklore for years. Sorry but this is making a travesty of The Tradition of Minehead.
