This pic is a yearling colt we brought to the Equine Affaire in Ohio two weeks ago. I took this pic. as we took him out of the breed arena. He was in a stall at the breed arena for a few hours while we manned the GHA booth.
I don't know much about the Gypsy's except they are a stunningly beautiful horse! Post more pics when you get time and as the babies arrive please & thank-you
While they are surely an interesting and flashy type of horse, I'd imagine swinging down off of one in front of the saloon might lead you to a good ribbin! :wink: Gcreek oughta order one for checking calving heifers as his pony would have warm feet! :wink:
They average 14-15 hands. 1100-1500 lbs. They were bred to pull the Gypsy's home/wagon. Some people are now even using them for Dressage, carts/driving, pleasure riding....
Ok, the leg warmer comment.......I had images of the movie Flashdance running through my head
I guess some people have used them for penning as well as the cowboy challenge race and have done very well!!!
