from Dennis Thompson. Color Paint. Travelling folk were able to acquire horses of excellent quality due to this bias, including coloured Shire horses which they prized highly. Their docile and easy going personality is what has moved many people to fall in love with the Gypsy Vanner. For the past decade, The Gypsy Horse is known for its friendly, gentle, and willing nature. There was no stud-book or breed association for horses of this type until 1996. Cell - 850-698-8802,
