Little Abigail, AKA "Abby", is the first foal bred by our farm, and we are so proud! She is everything we had hoped for and MORE! Her dam is our lovely black mare, Clover, and her sire is the one-and-only Limerick. This makes her very special because Limerick has been gelded, so she is the first foal of only 2 who will be sired by him.
Abby's dam, Clover, is a beautiful solid black mare with a top notch pedigree. Her dam, Esmeralda of WR Ranch, was only the 4th horse ever registered with the GVHS. She and fifteen other horses comprised the founding stock of the newly organized Gypsy Vanner Horse Society. Her sire, The Gypsy King of Gypsy Gold, who was one of the first foundation stallions to be imported from Europe to the US. He is one of the most well-known and respected Gypsy Horses in the US today and even has a Breyer Model made for him!
Abby's sire, Limerick, was our first Gypsy Horse. We have him to thank for winning us over and getting us into the Gypsy Horse breed. His dam is Kaeli, from Big Pine Farm; and he is the first son of Roadsweeper, from Gypsy Gold. On March 2nd, 2007, Limerick injured his left eye and it had to be removed. But it has not altered his personality at all and has not hindered his training. He is now a gelding (only so that he will have the quality of life he deserves) and is living the good life among "his girls".
