The Gypsy Horse has been selectively bred by British and Irish Gypsies and Romany people for generations.
The Gypsy travelers use brightly colored flat carts and living wagons, or vardos,
and desired a strong, heavy, docile and showy horse to pull them.
The Shire, Clydesdale and Dales Pony are part of the history of the breed.
The Gypsy Horse is also known as The Gypsy Vanner,  Gypsy Cob or Colored Cob.

The proper Gypsy Horse will have generations of selective breeding behind them and
it is our mission to continue to breed exceptional examples of the breed that honor
the Gypsies who envisioned them and to be a part of future generations of proper Gypsy Horses.

Proper Gypsy Horses will exhibit the following breed standards:

Medium sized draft horse body with medium to heavy bone
Short back, sloped shoulders and strong neck with a sweet head in proportion to the overall body
Well rounded withers and broad chest
Powerful hips and rounded croup
Closer hock set of a pulling horse
Large round hooves
Abundant feather beginning at the back of the knees and near the hocks
Feather extending over the front of the hooves
Ample mane, forelock and tail
A more refined, sweet head than a typical Shire
Flat, tapered nose, heavy Roman nose is not acceptable
Docile, willing and intelligent nature

The Gypsy Horse is not a color breed and can be found in many colors, black and white Piebald being most common.
Skewbald describes red and white, brown and white and tri-colored horses
Blagdon describes a solid colored horse with white splashed up from underneath.
Many other colors are also seen in the Gypsy Horse.
The traditional Gypsy Horse is 13-15.2 hands.
