Gypsy Vanners, by my observation, have a larger bone structure and have thicker, longer manes, tails and feathering than Tinker horses.
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.
Of course you can, when you register, just select that breed and you will begin with your very own Gypsy Vanner!

You should be able to pick from all of the breeds, so yes you should be able to start with a gypsy vanner.
look in google images and type in Gypsy Vanner.

Your best bet would be to contact the Gypsy Vanner Registry. Below I have included the website for you.
Gypsy Vanner's can come in all equine colors, with black and white pinto the most common color and marking.
A Gypsy Vanner is a medium to large-sized horse breed. On average, they stand between 13.2 and 15.2 hands (54-62 inches) tall at the shoulder. They are known for their sturdy build, heavy feathering on their legs, and compact body.

A "Gypsy Horse" is also called a Gypsy Vanner Horse, an Irish Cob and a few other names. It is a recognized breed.
Equus caballus, the same as for any other breed of horse. There are no scientific names for breeds, only for species.
