Gypsy horses come from the UK and Ireland. The breed has been around for more
than 300 years. They were developed by the Gypsy people, known as Travelers or
Romany. There are few Gypsy Horses in the United States at this time, but with
good breeding programs , we hope to make theses horses more commonly known
throughout the United States.
Gypsy Horses are called Gypsy Cobs or Cobs in Europe by the Travelers or Romany
people. Other Europeans may also refer to them as Tinker Horses. In America, we
typically refer to them as Gypsy Horses, Gypsy Vanners, or Gypsy Cobs. The main
reason for the different names is due to the different registries in America, but
these horses are all the same wonderful breed no matter what you wish to call
them.
With the foundation and bulk of the breed residing in the United Kingdom it is
difficult for the general population to physically see and be with these special
horses. Here at Spy Glass Farms we plan to breed the best and hope to be able to
bring them into everyone's lives.
