Quote:
Not sure where Georgialee purchased hers from but the pictured sire is from a farm called Gypsy MVP which is in TX.

And as far as the colors go....Gypsy Vanners don't follow the same color names as other breeds. Of course you can call them whatever color name your comfortable with but in registration there are only 4 color choices for this particular breed.

Breed colors are as follows:
Piebald: Black & White
Skewbald: Red & White, Brown & White, Tri-Color
Odd Colored: Any other color
Blagdon: Solid color with white splashed up from underneath

You have got to be one of the luckiest people! I have drooled over Vanners ever since I saw my first at a fair years ago.

Really pretty horses

That is a beautiful horse. I just love big horses.

Actually, Vanners are small horses. They are very blocky, as they are cart horses, but they are generally large pony sized.

They are cute, tho. We had one born on our TB farm, since the farm manager had a shire mare that was used as an embryo recipient mare for a friend of mine's embryo. We were all concerned that the foal would be so small that it couldnt reach the mare to nurse, but he was okay.

We got ours from Rivendell Farm here in E. TN. The foal will be the tallest of the two at only 14 hands... so they are quite small when you compare them to other horses.

I'll take pictures the next time we go to farm (probbly this weekend).

For those with Vanner tastes but beer budget, and interested only aesthetics not breeding or sales, it is not real hard (or anyhow didn't used to be) to find a paint draftX that would be a pretty dead ringer except for the pedigree papers.

Vanners and their unpapered twins *are* certainly nice 'n' flowy-mane-y
