Ireland has always held a certain magic for me. From its rolling green hills to its rugged coastlines, every corner of this beautiful country feels like stepping into a postcard. As a photographer and designer at MigCPhotography, I’m constantly drawn to destinations that spark creativity and offer moments to cherish forever. One such moment arrived when a friend told me about the Glenbeigh Festival, a tradition that has been celebrated since 1925.
Experiencing the Glenbeigh Horse Festival
The Glenbeigh Horse and Pony Races along Rossbeigh Beach were at the top of my Irish travel bucket list. I had heard stories of the thrill and excitement of the event, but nothing compared to witnessing it first-hand. The sight of horses racing along the golden sands, framed by the wild Atlantic waves, was truly spectacular. As I stood on the beach, camera in hand, I felt immersed in the energy and tradition of this long-standing festival. Capturing the Spirit of Ireland in such a moment was beyond fulfilling.
From the performances to the parade of horses, every moment was an opportunity to capture something unique. I aimed to preserve the raw emotion and beauty of the day – the pounding hooves, the cheering crowds, and the breath taking coastal backdrop. These images now feature in - or could be added to - my collection of personalised greeting cards and custom calendars, bringing a piece of Ireland’s spirit to homes across the world.
Embracing Ireland’s Unpredictable Weather
If you’ve ever visited Ireland, you know the weather can change at a moment’s notice. One minute, the sun shines brightly over the hills; the next, a light drizzle rolls in from the sea. Unlike London, Ireland’s weather is a dance of unpredictability, but this only adds to its charm. Some of my favourite photographs from the festival were taken in soft, diffused light after a brief rain shower, highlighting the lush landscape and vibrant atmosphere. It was another way of capturing the spirit of Ireland—showing the country’s beauty in all its moods.
