=Gypsy Vanners are small draft horses with an elegant look. They are a mix of Shire, Clydesdale, Friesian, and Dale Pony. Lush feathers on their lower legs swish when they move, and they have thick, heavy manes and tails. They have short, arched necks and short backs with rounded haunches. Although they can be any color, they are prized for spectacular piebald(black and white) or skewbald(brown and white) markings. Gypsy Vanner Horses were bred particularly to be kind, gentle, and intelligent. Developed to pull heavy caravans, these athletic horses have also proved to be good riding horses. They have great stamina and are easy to train. They were developed by Gypsies to pull their colorful caravans as they traveled about Great Britain. An American couple fell in love with their exotic looks and gentle natures, and they imported four horses to the United States in the late 1990's.=
