D'AWWW! Widdle big baby! :loveya: ...


I wasn't familiar with this breed: "The Gypsy Cob is an amazing breed of horse. They are also known as Gypsy Vanners, Gypsy Horses, Irish Cobs, and Tinker Horses in this country. These small, hardy draft type horses are imported from England from the true Gypsy families that raise them. As a companion, their incredible, gentle nature is unbelievable. They are kind and willing partners, with a disposition developed over generations by the Gypsy people that prize them."

4. zOMG, they look like the most fun.
I could spend hours playing with their hair. I used to groom animals for a living and sometimes we got requests during spirit week or during Halloween to dye the white poodles. That was so much fun. I can see a purple mane on one of those horses. That would RAWK!

Every once in awhile I get a horse "craving." They sure are gorgeous animals.

7. wow, how incredibly beautiful!
Thank you for posting these - I love horses, used to ride quite a bit in my younger days. Haven't done nearly enough looking at horse pics! I have a soft spot for Appaloosas :)

I was a horse FREAK when I was a kid. I had my own Quarter/Morgan gelding for awhile.

I still love horses, but I've got the adult "fear factor" in my brain, and I don't ride anymore.

:hi:

11. They're gorgeous
I'm familiar with the breed but I've never met one. They're just lovely. But I'll stick to my little Thoroughbred. :)
