St. Clarins is gorgeous! He's is the reason I became interested in Gypsies with the silver gene.

Quote: It wasn't, did someone say it was? Hound, you're obviously not understanding the point, so forget it. I'm not going to waste any more of my time.

I think sulphur has a lot of purposes with any type of horse. MTG is basically just sulphur and mineral oil; this is what it says for use: An effective, time-proven remedy for dermatitis problems. Highly recommended by veterinarians for a variety of skin conditions, Original M-T-G is a...

Sulfuring is basically to keep mites away, the oil is to prevent breakage/dryness. It will not help to keep the mane/tail clean... the opposite in fact. The oil attracts dirt. If your friend were to show her horse she would have to wash the oil & sulphur off first. When we got our first...

Yeah... sulfuring/oiling is not fun at all. The smell is horrendous! MTG is basically the same thing already mixed up. I've been using that instead since it doesn't stain. We bought some type of sulfur/lime from the vet and it looks like iodine... not exactly what I want to put on white...

Thanks Redhen It's not the differing opinion that's rude... it's the way it was said.

beautiful! the second to last pic is Midget from LexLin, right? He's the daddy of the little girl we just bought. I think he's gorgeous.

I do like the untraditional colors a bit better... but I think it's only because we've had our two tobiano girls the longest so I'm more 'used' to their coloring. That one on the bottom's name is Taskin - he's from Villa Vanners. A champagne buckskin, I believe. Soooo pretty.

Gorgeous photos! Now you have me on all the websites again, lol. Here are some of my favorite stallions:

Of course breeders are going to romanticize them. Just like breeders of almost every other animal romanticize their breed/species/what have you. A discerning person will go to independent sites for history, conformation standards, etc. In regards to being rude, I'm sorry but if someone was...

Rude people in general hit a nerve with me. Their heritage isn't romanticized. They were caravan horses of the Romany people. Obviously with the invention of cars they're no longer used for that but it doesn't mean it's not part of their heritage.

That's the way the world works. For ex: llamas, alpacas, ostriches, etc. You could find those animals in the wild in other countries yet they were selling for thousands here when they were first introduced. And really, could you be more condescending? When someone starts a thread about liking...

Quote: What's the point of that? Mustangs are run down - nearly to death - by helicopters here because they're unwanted. It doesn't make them a bad breed. There are many breeds that are imported to other countries and sold for much more money than they were bought for. It all comes down to...

Quote: thanks! Her name is whiskey ... She's actually a silver bay. I love her coloring too.

welsummer - I wasn't saying that wasn't possible. I was stating my experience. On a different and completely unrelated note - I am not one to bash breeds of horses when I know nothing about them. In fact, I wouldn't bash a breed of horse anyway (unless I had years of bad experiences with...

I would say they're comparable to draft horses but more even tempered. They're like dogs... will follow you around just to be near you. We're just starting to be at the point that we need to 'break' the 2.5 year old. We put a saddle on her, bit in her mouth - the whole 9 yards and she didnt'...

Ok... just to get back to the original thread topic for a second (sorry, gals ) Unless someone has spent a significant amount of time around Gypsy Vanners I don't think they can give an accurate judgement on the breed. I have 5 of them. I have also had thoroughbreds, tennessee walkers and...

I'm the one that owns the Vanners. I get that they're mutts and all that but I have never been around more gentle and laid back horses - esp. for ones that are only a year and two years old like ours. We put a cart harness on our yearling last summer and she didn't even flinch... she just kept...
