It's a modern kitchen-sink drama, in an Irish, urban setting where horses are kept & seen on the streets. The film follows a youth who has been released from a detention center/prison. I believe it was made around 2000, can anyone hazard a guess of the title given this vague description?

I'm afraid it isn't "Into the West". It sounds like the same film, Girlie is thinking of, i saw it on Sky Movies toward the end of 2001.

I know the film you are thinking of but like you cannot remember the title i just stumbled across it on sky movies years ago. I can remember someone trying to steal his horse and alot of it being around a pub and maybe he got a girl pregnant... So long ago i might be mistaking it for something else but i do know the one you mean! Sorry i know i'm not much help!

How about....
INTO THE WEST...
PLOT SUMMARY..
Grandpa Ward gives a horse he found to his grandchildren, who keep it in their tower-block flat in Dublin. The horse is stolen from them, and the two young boys set out to find it and flee on it.
A gigantic white stallion appears mysteriously to a Traveller grandfather and his two grandsons in an Irish slum. Since, puzzlingly, the younger of the two boys is the only individual who can control the horse, ownership falls to him and his older brother by default. There being no place for the animal, they move him into the apartment of their alcoholic Traveller father. Police remove him and, in a shady deal, he ends up under control of a wealthy, underhanded horse breeder. The boys manage to retrieve him and escape on his back, but the stallion seems to have his own travelling agenda.

It sounds like Intermission, was Colin Farrell in it? And Colm Meaney. And does Colin Farrell beat up a girl and rob her cashtill in the start of the film? Then it is Intermission.

At first I thought it might be a Roddy Doyle film...I saw it too and can't remember the name. Did a very scatty search and found "Into the West" (think they bring the horse into a council flat???).
