can anyway tell me why travelers put horses heads made of wood over there camps on there houses, caravans etc etc ?

you put wallpaper or paint on the walls inside your house, they do what they want to do to decorate their homes

because they've nicked them and cant think what to do with them

better than putting a horses head in your bed!

easy ask them they dont bite.

My uncle makes Romanie Gyspy caravans for a living (the proper wood ones). His signature mark is a large carved horses head on the front door in gold leaf.

So I imagine it harks back to when they were horse draw.

There's a couple on their front gate

Its probably a bit like Canal boats having Roses and Castles painted on the doors. A bit of tradition me thinks.
