Irish Drafts are often crossed with Irish Thoroughbreds to produce strong hunter-jumper mounts. They are large, sturdily built warmbloods that excel in competition as well as perform in draft work.

Gypsy Vanner (Tinker)
Gypsy Vanners historically descend from a mish-mash of breeds, primarily the Sire, Clydesdale, Freisian, Dales, and Fells. Gypsies “borrowed stallions under the veil of night to service their mares. Stallions were chosen for their hardiness, size and color. Stemming from this exciting history, the Gypsy Vanner is evolving into a prominent and independent breed. Because of this, I prefer to keep lines within the Gypsy Vanner blood. These guys are all “imported” with extremely little pedigree information, as the Gypsies prefer to keep their privacy. However, I still wish to offer these horses as possible foundation lines for others. As the breed progresses, and stock and information becomes available, these horses will be able to offer more. Until then, however, please enjoy them in their purity!
