The Gypsy Horse. Relatively new to the U.S., the combination of Clydesdale, Shire, and Irish Drafts and the Dales, Fell  ponies bred over one hundred of years to create this remarkable horse used to pull gypsy caravans.

The Gypsy Horse might be prized for its looks alone. Compact and powerful, thick neck and rounded withers attest to its strength. Standing from pony size to 16 hands, the Gypsy Horse comes in a variety of colors however it is the pinto pattern in  both skewbald and piebald that distinguishes  the breed. But its most recognizable feature is also its most beautiful. Abundant feather, heavy mane, and lush tail that brushes the ground tell all who see it that the Gypsy is a prince among horses.

Beauty is not the only trait that sets this breed apart. Bred to be a working member of the Gypsy clans, their quiet intelligence allows them to remain docile around children, yet they possess the strength and endurance to thrive in a life on the road. Their willingness to work derives from their desire to please. While compact, the Gypsy Horse's balanced and proportional body allows freedom of movement and a sturdy elegance. Flash, feather, heavy bone and calm temperament the Gypsy Cob is a magnificent horse!
