Hello, and a very warm welcome to the Gypsy Vanner Horses of Harkaway Farm!

The Gypsy Vanner was created by the Romani people of the British Isles, and is renowned for its truly delightful temperament and hard-working nature.

It's easy to be drawn in by their glamorous looks, but these horses have worked for their living for many generations. Up and down the highways and byways of the British countryside, Gypsy Vanners can still occasionally be seen pulling the colorful wagons and carts of their proud owners.

See who we have FOR SALE!!!

 

 

Bred by the Gypsy folk to draw their wagons, Gypsy Vanners have to be strong, sensible, hardy and thrifty.

Even now, when many Rom families have "modernized" to motor-drawn caravans, or taken to a more settled way of life,  the Gypsy Vanner is still highly prized. To own a top quality horse, or to breed the "fair topper" that year is a source of enormous pride (and significant bragging rights!)

We are proud to be the first Gypsy Vanner breeders in the state of Wisconsin. You'll find us in SW Wisconsin, near the IL and IA borders. Visitors welcome...by appointment please!!
