Gypsy Vanner horses are a breed of domestic horse that originates from Ireland. Furthermore, they are also known as Gypsy Cobs or Irish Cobs. The breed was selectively bred for over half a century from a vision to create the perfect horse to pull the Gypsy caravan. The goal of the Romany breeders was to produce a well-bred horse that was gentle and strong as well as visually spectacular1. Additionally, Gypsy Vanners are relatively small horses, standing between 12.2 and 16 hands high. And, while they may be shorter than your typical draft, they are broadly built and are easily capable of pulling carriages and caravans.
