Can you tell me what Breed of horse the large black one with 2 white hooves on the back legs is?

Looks like a Gypsy Vanners, I think most if not all of these are Cobs aka gypsy vanners.

TheGoldfishGuy’s last blog post..How Fast Do Goldfish Grow

What’s that horse with the black hair standing up behind the others in the second frame?

Also, is the last one a pinto draft horse? That doesn’t look so rare to me… Even I’ve got a pinto pony.

How are these horses rare? They’re a bunch of Gypsy Vanners, that are common as dirt and sold to silly Americans as pretty fluffy fairy horses. And it’s retarded to consider color when breeding unless it’s to avoid the frame or splash pattern (which are associated with death and deafness) when breeding. Breeding for palominos and cremellos, etc, is one of the reasons the horse industry is in the state it is today, which is SAD. Horses are selling for a mere $25-50 daily. But people would rather have a worse horse with a prettier color. Sorry, but it really irks me off when people ooh and ahh over palominos and crap like that.

LlamaRoper-”But people would rather have a worse horse with a prettier color.”

Who are you to say what is a worse horse?

Maybe its people like YOU that have caused the horse breeding industry to be the way it is.

No wonder these so called ‘worse’ horses sell for less. Its idiotic breed-snobs that have caused that, because its all about having a pure blood horse isn’t it? Even when its used as a family hack.

sheesh.

reminds me of beauty and the beast…

Sarah- by “worse horse” i believe Llama Roper means a horse with poor conformations. sadly, america’s breeding practices are low in there area of standards. people breed for the coat or appearance rather than how the horse should truly be build. it causes many problems in the future of the horse, many that lead to death or abandonment, but more frequently, they are bred again to “upgrade”. most of these conformational faults are hereditary. “worse” horses often sell for many millions of dollars until they break down. the “cheap” horses are the mustangs, which are wonderful companion horses, and the broken down horses which sell in bulk for cheap to the slaughter houses in canada and mexio.

well i know nothing of bad or good breeding but i do know that they do have bad things that are passed down in the blood line but family hacks not a nice expression as these kiddies get attached to them far more than any adult ever would and so i would want a better quality and charecter for my children one who will live to a ripe old age when they are better to cope with it all that beeing said not pure breeds are more hardey to ilness and weathering too me thinks xxxx

I do not know much about breeding except that animals are bred for looks as well as other things.

For someone to insult the horses and call them “worse” is horrible. These horses capture the imagination they make people like me care and want to learn more about them.

Cross breed them if that is what it takes to weed out bad genes. Don’t treat them like trash and call them common. It only proves how small of a person you are.

LlamaRoper, At least one of those looks like an American Creme Draft or ACD cross which aside from being the only native US draft horse, is in declining numbers world wide. It is considered a rare/endangered breed. I see also Shire, Clydesdale (Breed also on the decline, and yes they come in more colors than Bay), Gypsy Vanner/ Irish Cob (different origins and size separate the two), and one of those could be a Friesian and draft cross.

nice horses im a big fan of hores and now maybe your website now! ha ill remember your website peace!

They are GORGEOUS!!!

As for the comments about the quality of the various horses, only a moron thinks changes in breeding preferences make crappy horses. How do you think we ended up with such a variety of horse breeds in the world today? - Certainly not because of narrow minded, breed snobs, who want every horse to have the same confirmation and qualities.

Different people like different things, some like color, some like spirit, some like size… besides, a lot of the “superior” breeds have downright awful personalities - often reflections of the personalities of ignorant, snotty owners!

awesome

Wow! the huge black one almost looks like a friesian but it can’t be because friesians can’t be friesians if they have any color exsept black!

Love the horses and the colors. they look like that they are a frisian cross but can’t tell with what though. They look like they are strong and that they will pull a cariage

Are all these horses Gypsy Vanners? They all look dirived from the breed. The last one is probably rare; just because its piebald doesn’t mean that it isn’t rare. Also, those blue eyes, very impressive…

All of you people that are insulting these horses are TOTAL RETARDS! llamaroper, first that’s a stupid name, but anyways, only a few of these are Ghypsy Vanners, you’d have to be blind to think that. And, even if they were, Ghypsy Vanners aren’t just for looks, they are great for dresage, hunter, and beginner riders, or pleasure horses. And breeding horses for color only efects the horse rarely, and even if, most horses, like Paliminos, aren’t bred for color, ether, you idiot. And, people don’t buy those horses just for their color, they do for their temperment, their skill, or mabye their speed. And don’t say I have no experients and I’m just making this up, because, unlike you, who brobobly lives on a stupid llama “farm”, more like a petting zoo, I actually live on a horse farm and own horses of my own, which I’ve been riding for … I think 4 yeas now. So you and and all you crapy people that think like him, you all SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the most beautiful horse is the black one with withe hair,,i just love it

can anyone tell me what breed of horse the palomieno horse is?
(the rearing one)

They are all lovely. The poster, greenexpander, however, is not at all lovely, what with wasting my time with photos of horses that he or she is unable to identify.

My grandmother has been breeding, riding, raising, and showing horses for 40 years. Any newbie who’s been petting horses for 4 shouldn’t be commenting on things they know nothing about. The reason llamaroper is a ‘horse snob’ as some of you put it, is because when you’ve been doing something for so long you resent the people who bring trash into your business - morons who know nothing about a quality animal and breed sickness into lines because they want something ‘pretty’, or just fancy idiotic breeds because of some trend or other.. When you breed horses for a living its hard to listen to people talk about something they don’t know anything about. If you’d been in your career for 20 years and some random person starts talking about your area of expertise and is getting half the stuff wrong, you wouldn’t get a bit irked? Or if you built houses and didn’t cut corners, you wouldn’t look down on and resent the companies who did shoddy work? Think about it. I’m not saying the horses aren’t wonderful to look at, but the ‘look’ of a horse really isn’t worth much on its own.

Oh my god these have to the most beautiful and magestic creaters in the world, i mean i would rather live my life with them instead of people…….—->–<@

These horses (even the black one) are Gypsy Horses, also known as Gypsy Cobs or Gypsy Vanners. The black stallion is Tonka, and he is owned by Old Mill Farm. The photo was taken by Fran Scott of Remme Park.

Love it!
Really love this blog mate

I don’t understand the hate on the Gypsy Vanner. Also the comment that this breed is as common as dirt. Where do you live llamaroper? I know in America quarter horses and thorobreds are the breeds that are common as dirt. The Gypsy Vanner shows very pleasing conformation and I see more well bred Vanners than bad. As for the emphasis on color every breed has a characteristic that some breeders focus too much on. Like the rampant breeding of Impressive bloodlines in quarter horses and how hyyp positive horses win shows. In many Vanner horses they show nice coloring and good conformation. So far the worst offenders i’ve seen are crossbreds with some random breed however all horse breeds are victim to backyard breeders saying hey lets mix this and this. I would be more understanding if you started to rib on Appaloosas. Finding Appaloosa’s with good conformation is hard. Also a reason why many breeds do not have these multi colored coats is because breeders took time to weed them out all because of fashion and how they thought color affected the temperment. So breeding for color is nothing new.

all of these horses are gorgeous i wish i owned all of them. all together i have four horses, a shetland, five rabbits, 2 hens and six hamsters and trust me im not rich.

The black horse with the white mane and tail is either a flaxen liver chestnut or a silver dapple.

some of u people who keep saying stuff (that is NOT nice) about the horses should be quiet. i get it if some of u have been in the horse business for a while but that doesnt mean you can say suckish stuff about them. ALL horses are amazing, even the ones with bad tempers. most of the so called “bad breeding” is us peoples fault! the tempers too! we decide oh im going to do this to a horse to make it better and go and make them “bad”. if u have breeding comments, or comments on the comments on other people then keep them to urself! people R entitled to their opinions, even if we dont like them.

Most people speaking negatively about the breed are those who are ignorant and inexperienced about the breed as a whole - they’ve heard and repeated things they’ve heard from other ignorant people.

The breed is not as rare as they once were in the US, but compared to the numbers of say Friesians in the US, they are still relatively uncommon. There are probably about 10,000-15,000 today in the US, registered and unregistered, best the registries can guess.

Because the highest quality horses command top prices both here and overseas, there have certainly been people who have tried and been successful at importing substandard Gypsy Horses and crosses, and charging high prices for them. Unfortunately, as with anything, you have to do your homework before buying to make sure you get what you pay for.

All Gypsy Horses (AKA Gypsy Cobs/Gypsy Vanners) are “Gypsy-bred” horses, but not all “Gypsy-bred” horses are Gypsy Horses. The term “Gypsy-bred horse” refers to the range of horses bred by the Gypsies over the years - from the lighter boned Trotters & Romani Grai, to the beautiful “proper cobs” that have taken them many years to develop and perfect. The Gypsy Horse/Cob/Vanner breed is intended to identify the “finished product” of all of those years of breeding. These top Gypsy Horses (known simply as a “good horse” or “proper cob” to the Gypsies) are more expensive among both Gypsies and non-Gypsies. It is largely because the entire package has been such a labor to achieve - the heavy bone, profuse feather, compact draft size, docile temperament, incredible brains, long thick hair, “sweet” head, strong neck, short back, endurance, heartiness, willingness, breath-taking beauty, and a mystical distinct quality that only the best can reflect.

These horses are winning over horsemen & horsewomen at every turn. Most are skeptical of their ability to perform in so many disciplines, as well as of their intelligence, calm nature, level-headed demeanor, work ethic and willigness to please. But I’ve yet to meet a single person (and I’ve met MANY who’ve been put to the test), who spent even a little time with a Gypsy Horse who did not leave with a new appreciation and love for the breed.

So to all the naysayers…I am just thankful that I have these horses in my life. They bring me so much happiness, that I just feel sorry for those who are so negative that they will never allow themselves the opportunity to know one of these creatures, who are even more beautiful inside than out

Awww!Did you see that white fluffy horse?It looked like an angel ^^

the big black horse is beautiful it lookes like a Gypsy Vanner because i have a black an white gypsy vanner that lookes the same.

i dont care about about any facts or breeding dna crap, they are beautiful creatures and as long as they are being well taking care of and not being abused, beated, or starved. people that can even own horses need to count their blessings on how blessed and lucky they are to be able to have such beautiful and awesome creatures and need to charish every moment they have and spend every momement they have with them. you just dont relize how lucky yall are!!!! laura

I want the black one with the white mane and tail, what breed? It does look like a cob? But any specific name/thingy?

xx

Read the comments above.
WHAT THE HELL. Unless in the equine ‘industry’ bredds don’t really matter
Or colours in that matter. No one really gives a damn. As long as they can afford them and have time to love and cherrish them, i see no reason why anyone would care.
It’s like buying a puppy, once you see it and pet it, you just can say no.
The reason horses are going at such low prices in AMERICA, is because maybe there are too many, people are desperate to get rid, its a quick way to buy and sell making a profit, the horse has been abused and/or neglected.
When I have more money, I will buy a horse from auction, I don’t mind if it is scared NOT ‘untrainable’. You don’t ‘teach’ a horse, you train it to respond to your comands. Or even if it is just for company for my other horse.
The person wayyy above ^
Should NOT have anything to do with horses. Because it is the same as me being mean to a blind guy cause he’s blind, and not buying a horse because it may be blind in its genetics. I mean what the f**k!!!

People can be very ignorant.

ok so what is that breed second one down also i have to do a progect on horses and i want to do it on a rare breed but can’t really find one or much info what is a good one that is very rare

omg!! i would love to have a couple of them horses….. i can’t stop looking at them, they are absolutely stunning!!!! the most amazing horses i have ever saw wow!!!

Omg they look so Funny!

One of them looks like a Cow lol.

this site was meant to admire the horses and not to fight about stupid crap. if you want to go debate about something, do it somewhere else. stop making it about fighting between people because this was meant for the horses. they are all very gorgeous by the way and i would love to see some of these guys in person.

You people who knock these horses obviously haven’t a notion, as the ‘Gypsy Vanner’, Gypsy Cob’ is actually an pure bred Irish horse.

If you don’t know this you obviously know feck all about horses.

Slan an capall!

What makes any horse ‘beautiful’ is actually down to it’s confirmation. Therefore a well breed horse is merely a horse of good confirmation. That is important for reasons of health. A horse with bad confirmation ie: over at the knee etc..may well suffer with tendon strain etc..so the build of the horse is why certain traits are bred in or out depending on what you want it to do. So ANY horse with a good shape whether heavy, mediumn weight or like mine light weight araby types, is beautiful and if you are lucky it may be the colour you adore too! Bless every horse for it’s loving spirit, huge forgiving heart and be ashamed that you could EVER look down your nose at a poorly bred one…for WHO bred it in the first place?…..here endesth the lesson.

I love all the pictures. My favorite one is the tanish brown one.

I love these horses…where can you find some to buy?

As these horses are found rarely so it is quite natural that they are of very high prices if someone sell them
