THE photo of Paddy Joe Foy, reading a copy of The Irish Field while parked on Westport’s riverside mall with Podge his carriage horse, was a big hit and 80-year-old Paddy Joe numbers amongst the newspaper’s digital readership too.

He was also spotted last Friday night reading Susan Finnerty’s West of the Shannon feature online about the Westport family’s wedding carriage, jarvey and trail ride businesses.
