Gypsy Horses
The Gypsy Cob (Vanner) was developed by the Travellers, or
Gypsies, of Great Britain and Ireland. They were used
to pull the colorful wagons known as the family vardo
or caravan. Traveling the roads and often cared for by
children, it was essential that the horses be both
strong and kind with a willing disposition. They also
had to be of a hardy nature, sound and easily kept. The
Gypsy Cob has an attractive head with a kind eye and
neat ears, a short, well muscled back, well sprung
ribs, deep shoulders, with a good slope, and powerful,
rounded hindquarters. They will have substantial bone
that is flat, clean and dense and a generous foot with
thick walls and open heels. They also have amazing
amounts of hair. Thick manes that typically fall below
the shoulder and tails that drag the ground. The
crowning glory on a good Gypsy Cob is the abundance of
silky feather. They can be of any size but generally
stand between 14 and 15 hands. (from the Gypsy Cob and
