Here is Tansy, our first
Gypsy Vanner mare. She
is extremely well
known to the Romani
horsemen in England and
Ireland as a top class
broodmare and stallion
producer. They know her
as "the good Spot Mare"
and she is dam of the
very highly regarded
stallion
The Governor
and the stunning black
Blagdon,
Bear (aka Flash).
We just know her
as Tansy. Our sweet,
much beloved girl. Not a
day goes by that I am
not grateful that we
were able to bring Tansy
to Harkaway.
She stands a hair's
breadth under 15hh.
Believed to be by The
McGynley Stallion ex a
mare by The Lob.

In 2008 she had a
filly by
Lenny's Horse!!!
She has a truly
delightful
temperament (and a huge
appetite for Polo mints
- an English candy - and
white bread. Bread is
a treat often fed
by the Rom themselves).
She is also our alpha
mare. She strolled in to
her paddock of 16.2hh+
pasture mates and has
been the queen ever
since! She rules not
with teeth and heels but
with the flick of an ear
or a toss of her head. |
