Breed Standards
Stallions/Mares/Geldings

The Gypsy Vanner is a “people sized” draft horse with heavy bone and broad body, but on a smaller scale then the large draft
breeds.

#1 Color: The Gypsy Vanner Horse® is not a color breed it is a body type, therefore all colors, markings and patterns are
acceptable. In honor of the British Gypsy heritage of the breed, the following names will be used to describe a Gypsy Vanner
horses color.

B. Skewbald: Red & White, Brown & White, Tri-Color

C. Odd Coloured: Any other color

D. Blagdon:  Solid color with white splashed up from underneath

#2 Height:  No height limits, all sizes have the same standards, all equally acceptable.


#3 Body:The Vanner has the look of a small to average size horse with a draft horse type body.

C. Chest: A deep, broad chest with well sprung ribs.
D. Shoulder: Sloping shoulder with well developed muscle

(well arched) crest.

#4  Legs: Clean, heavy to medium heavy bone set on medium to large hoof .
A. Front: Set square, muscular with broad flat well developed knees.
B. Rear: Hocks that are broad and clean, a Vanner will have the modified closer
hock  set  of a pulling horse, but not as close as the modern draft horse.   
Set back or  sickle hocks are a fault.
C. Hoof : large round hoof , open at the heels with well developed frogs. Small contracted hooves are
considered a fault

trot                                                                                                                                                                                 

#5 Hair: Ideal hair is straight and silky, with some wave, curl and body being acceptable.  Kinky hair is a fault..
A. Abundant feathering should begin at the back of the knees on the front legs  and   at or near the     
hocks on the rear, extending over the front of the hooves.
B. Mane, forelock and tail should be ample to profusely abundant, double manes are common but
not required.                               

#6 Head: A sweet head is a more refined head than a typical shire might have, set on a strong neck in
harmony with the horses overall look.
A. Throat and jaw: Clean throat-latch and jaw.
B.  Nose: Flat and tapered, a slightly roman nose is acceptable if it goes with the horses over all look.

C.  Eyes:  Any color, wide set, bright, alert and kind.
D.  Ears: In proportion to the head, not too large.

#7 Nature: A Vanner should be alert and willing with traits of intelligence, kindness and docility, a Golden Retriever  With
Hooves®.
History of the Gypsy Vanner Horse and Gypsy Vanner Horse Society Registry Breed Standards

The Gypsy Vanner Horse is a beautiful and rare breed envisioned by the Gypsies of Great Britain. This horse was
selectively bred for over half a century from a vision to create the perfect caravan horse. The genetic origins of the
breed include Shire, Clydesdale, and other native British ponies such as the Dales.
In addition to the Vanner's amazing looks, the breed possesses a temperament that is friendly and engaging. Easy
to train, smart and willing, these horses have it all. Although originally bred to pull the gypsy wagon, these horses are
now be used in all disciplines. Still used on wagons, but you also see them all decked out pulling beautiful
carriages, being ridden in dressage, hunt seat, saddle seat, western and bareback. Whichever you prefer, the
Gypsy Vanner is doing it all. This horse is also a wonderful family horse, and popular for trail rides due to their
unflappable nature.
