The Gypsy Vanner Horse
I had never heard of the Gypsy horse until today. They are truly magnificent animals. These beautiful horses were not recognized as a breed until 1996 when the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society was established. The Vanner breed was the end product of a selective breeding process and only a small number of horses bred by gypsies were from that process. These superb horses have created what is referred to as "Vannermania".
Let's learn more about these gorgeous horses and the farms where they are bred.

Gypsy Vanner Horse Society
The history of the Vanner horse begins in 1996 with the establishment of the first registry for the selectively bred horses of the British/Irish Gypsies. The horses that fit the type and characteristics stood out in the crowd of Gypsy-bred horses in the 1990s.Today the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society focuses on standards to assist breeders and enthusiasts in understanding and being able to recognize the Vanner Horse.

Gypsy Horse Association
Registered Horses
The Gypsy Horse Association is dedicated to preserving the purebred Gypsy Horse and its heritage. They provide a place for horse owner to register Gypsy Crosses and Drums. These horses are bred to create a horse with the lovely temperament of the Gypsy and the agility of a jumper, to preserve the heritage of the traditional Drum, or just to provide a family with an affordable way to share in the beauty of this breed. The value of the Gypsy cross or Drum to their owners is apparent. Cross-breeding for the purpose of creating a horse more suited to a particular discipline will ensure that the purebred Gypsy remains unchanged. All horse breeds have a job they were bred to do. The American Drum Horse is bred to be a heavy riding horse that is calm and gentle even in situations with excessive noise and distraction. They can be traced back as far as the Ottoman Empire.

- I too was in love with the gypsy vanner horses when I first did some research on them. They were everything that I wanted in my next horse. So, I made my dream come true! I purchased my first Gypsy horse last week. He is amazing....... He is under 2, but is calm, smart and very loving. If you pursue your dream, it will come true as mine did. You will not be dis-appointed in a Gypsy Vanner!

- I had never heard of the Gypsy horse until about 2 weeks ago when they were featured at our local Renaissance Faire. I was immediately in love with these beautiful horses. If you want I can send you a few photos I took to feature them here.

- This was so interesting. I have always loved horses, and feel that they have value, but
never heard about the Gypsy Vanner Horses before.
I was also very impressed by all the Gypsy Horse items you offered.
Thanks for bringing this to my attention.
We never need to stop learning.

- Gypsy Vanners are stunning. My second cousin was very into Romany gypsy heritage and used to have a real gypsy caravan in his garden. I bought a Gypsy Vanner horse painting from one of his open garden fairs and it is still one of my most favourite pictures in the house. One day I'd like to go on a Gypsy caravan holiday in Ireland :) Thanks for the lensroll, lensrolling back to my How to Adopt a Horse lens!
