=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.=

What is the difference between a gypsy cob and a gypsy vanner?
Actually, there is no difference. "Vanner" is an American term, coined by the founder of the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society. He tried to make the "Vanners" out to be more special, higher quality and therefore more expensive than than the good old regular cob. In many instances, cobs, gypsy horses and vanners are all cross registered in the three main registries: The Gypsy Horse Registry, the Gypsy Cob and Drum Horse Association and the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society, so obviously they are all one and the same horse. Call them what you want to, they are still known in England as: coloured cobs, hairy cobs, gypsy cobs or just cobs! I know many an English person that cringes at the word 'vanner' - and many a Gypsy eye gleam with the thought of how much they can sell a 'vanner' for! I'll stick with Cob or horse.
