Elegant and Versatile

These extremely versatile horses are comfortable working in any discipline.  Many are stunned to see how graceful these heavy horses can be over jumps.  For example, Clononeen Misneach, owned by Glenn Rainer Farm in Enumclaw, Washington,  is only 13.3 hands yet she places consistently in the top 5 in the USEF “A” circuit Level 1 jumper classes (3’ jumps with up to a 3’4” spread), competing against warmbloods and other large horses. 

The Impressionist N’Co, owned by N’Co Gypsy Vanners in Monclova, Ohio, is a two year old stallion with many firsts already to his credit in halter, English and Western Pleasure.  He shows exceptional grace and presence in the show ring.

Wendy and Dodger, a beautiful matched pair of Gypsy Vanner Horses owned by Gypsy Woods Farm in North Stonington, Connecticut, make a striking driving pair and are turning heads at shows and exhibitions throughout the Northeast. 

Owned by Purcell’s Gypsy Horses, WCF Gypsy Diva placed 4^th out of 16 breeds at the “Battle of the Breeds” in Bozeman, Montana.  Diva displayed her skill under saddle and in long lines in tests of both speed and precision including trail obstacle.  Diva is also trained as a roping horse, as are many other Gypsy Vanner Horses.   

 

EBV Charlie of El Brio Vanner in Chester County, Pennsylvania is the first Gypsy Vanner Horse to ever qualify for the USEF Breeders Championship held at the Dressage at Devon event in fall 2006. In order to qualify Charlie had to compete in three or more open in-hand competitions under three different judges, score 58% or higher, win his class, and be Grand or Reserve for the day; all of this from a horse that was a pasture stallion in the UK for the first 8 years of his life.
