********************

We are offering for sale Abigail, AKA "Abby", who 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".

WR Esmeralda's Clover

Sale Price: $19,500

Color DNA: Ee, tt

********************

We are offering for sale Clover, a beautiful solid black filly who has it all...stunning looks, gentle temperament, amazing athleticism, and an unbelievable pedigree. Her DNA color test verified that she is heterozygous for black (Ee), so depending on the stallion, she could produce black or red-based, and solid or tobiano offspring! A world of exciting possibilities with this girl!

Her dam Esmeralda was hand-selected to be a foundation mare for the breed, and thus was one of the first 16 Gypsy Horses to land on US soil. Her sire, The Gypsy King, was the first Gypsy Horse stallion imported to America. She carries the bloodlines of some of the greatest Gypsy Horses in history, and she will no doubt continue their legacy.

Clover has been trained using natural horsemanship methods (Parelli/Clinton Anderson/Craig Cameron) since birth and has been lightly backed as a two year old. She is very accepting and in tune with her rider, even at such an early stage in training. She has also started driving training and did well transitioning from ground driving to the training cart. Clover trailer loads, ties, clips, leads, stands calmly for the farrier, and she LOVES water all over her, so bathing is EASY! (How come the white horses never love water?? lol)

Clover's personality is that of confident intelligence, curiosity, and athletic playfulness. She will be ready for training under saddle this Spring and she will be a great mount for most any discipline, but we know she'll steal the show in the Dressage or Jumping arena if given the chance.
