What do you think of those full blooded gypsy stallions?

Below are stallions from Germany that I know of that have been imported to the U.S. but I am certain that there are many more out there

There are of course lots of fillies and mares in the U.S. but I will only publish pictures of stallions for now

we will add more info and pictures over time

Please note that only a couple of those pictures have been taken by professional photographers, nothing has been enhanced, those horses actually look better when you see them in person

Strainger

aka The Coochie Horse

nominated in the U.S. as "Champion of Champions" in 2004 with the "Gypsy Cob Society of North America", he is located in Conneticut at Emerald Winds Farm along with "Superstar" (his son) another beautiful stallion imported from Germany

I remember when Richard and I once spent a week living with Strainger's previous owner and his family while Strainger was still in Germany, I believe it was in 2000. We did have a wonderful time in this beautiful little village, it was lots of fun playing games in the riding hall while riding "Ace", an amazing Dales stallion, or going out on a trail ride with Strainger and his son "Apollo". And of course I won't forget the times when we tied a bunch of those little sleighs together and Strainger pulled us girls through the snow in the forest, thanks again Rainer & Uschi

Gondor (The Face)

another perfect gypsy stallion with just the cutest face!

Sligo

Stefan

Sligo is not only beautiful but he also produces wonderful offspring. This stallion is one of his son's in a rare color.

Bandon

now at Gypsy MVP in Texas

This tri-color stallion (and Tobie) makes my heart beat faster. This is how I picture a perfect gypsy stallion. I just love how this one is built.

Talisien

Update: Talisien is now a Gold Cup Stallion and all of his foals are eligible for the

Great Lakes Gypsy Vanner Futurity

Drambui

June '06 - Drambui is now in California and his new owner, Amanda is a reproductive specialist who is going to do A.I. with him. I was told they bought a huge horse breeding farm in order for him to have lots of space and to start a successfull breeding and showing career.

Homozygous for the tobiano and black gene, (below is a picture of him just before he turned 2 years of age, he should easily mature to 15.3 hands and is of course not done yet with filling out, he will also be heavy in bone and feather like his half brother "Talisien", pic above)

Taskin

now located in Texas at Gypsy MVP, a beautiful stallion in a very rare and unique color "Buttermilk Buckskin"

Tobie

News: As predicted Tobie has also been exported to the states and now lives in Texas at Gypsy MVP. Click here for more pictures of him

Tobie P. "The Athlete", a blagdon horse (blagdon = any color with white splashes) with just a few tiny splashes. I would say he is perfect, or at least very close to being built perfectly. He is the right mix of elegance and power and has the personality of a lamb. Please note his head, what else can I say?!

The stallions below are still in Germany and are proven producer of high quality offspring. They are not really for sale (at least not at a bargain) but let me know if you are interested in their offspring.

Aniol & Malaak

those stallions are being dressage ridden by children!!!

Our mare "Balamory" has been bred to Aniol for a 2008 baby!

Aniol at an inspection and at a parade behind mares in springtime. He keeps a cool head in just about

any situation.

Diablo

have you ever seen that much hair on a gypsy horse elsewhere?

He's another dream come true!

Duke of Forth Valley

He has lots of feather too, but they are a bit dirty in this picture and haven't been cleaned. He also serves as a "voltigier horse," it's a popular sport over there where young kids do gymnastics on his back, something you can see in the U.S. at a circus.
