GYPSY FACTS

​

ALL CAThe Irish Cob, also known as the Gypsy Cob, Gypsy Horse, ‘’’Irish Tinker’’’, or Gypsy Vanner, is a type or breed of domestic horse from the British Isles. It is a small, solidly-built horse of cob conformation and is often, but not always, piebald or skewbald; it is particularly associated with the Pavee and Romani travelling peoples of Britain and Ireland. There was no stud-book or breed association for horses of this type until 1996. It is now considered a breed and can be registered with a number of breed associations.
