We were also not willing to
compromise on feather. It's
certainly true
that great feather doesn't make a
mediocre Gypsy Vanner a great one,
but a beautifully well put together
Vanner can still not be considered
to be of the highest quality unless
it has excellent feathering,
starting at the knee and hock and
falling, long and full, to the
ground all around the leg.
On a fully mature Vanner in full
feather, you should not be able to see
the fetlock joints, even in the
mares.
And lastly, rather than the tiny
horses the gypsies in Britain are
breeding for these days, we are
working to maintain the older style
which tends to be a little taller.
For an all around ride/drive Vanner
we shall be striving for foals that
will exceed 15hh at maturity.
We very much hope you enjoy visiting each of
our Vanners. We welcome your
questions and invite you to contact
us if you would like to know more.
Whether that be about the breed in
general or about our Vanners in
particular. We love to "talk
horse"!!!
Some
thoughts on buying these horses in a
very confusing world! |
