Gypsy Vanner

How many of you have horses or have visited with one? I have two horses and a mule, but not a gypsy. If you are not aware a gypsy vanner is a type of horse that in my opinion is absolutely gorgeous.

These horses are most commonly black and white rarely do you see one another color. The horses maines are long as well as their tail. their bodies are built like a work horse with the hair over the hoof and very strong. They are not all big though, if a the gypsy vanner is shorter than fourteen hands they are called or considered mini gypsies. You now are aware of what they look like so keep an eye out for this breed because they are not very common.

This breed was discovered at an estimated one hundred years ago and originated in England and in Ireland, they have made their way around the world. Although the horses have been around a while it is said they did not make their way to the United States until nineteen ninety six. These horses are so uncommon and well mannered that they retail for at least one thousand and sometimes over fifteen thousand, for me that is disfigurement.

I hope you have learned a little about the Gypsy Vanner and enjoyed it. Although there isn't much, there are facts that come to my interest and hopefully yours. In conclusion i hope you enjoyed my discovery on this breed of horse.
