M & N Ranch Gypsy Vanner's
M & N Ranch is the home of the M & N Ranch Gypsy Vanner. Gypsies are a beautiful breed of draft horse that originated in Great Britain. This horse was selectively bred for over half a century from a vision to create the perfect horse to pull the Gypsy caravan. In 1996 the first Gypsy Vanner Horses came to North America.
They Gypsy Vanner is often referred to as a “people-sized” draft horse. The genetic origins of the breed include the Shire, the Clydesdale, and the native British ponies such as the Dales. Gypsies are heavy bone and have a broad body like a draft, but with the majority of the breed standing 14-15 hands at the withers. They are also recognized for their immense feather on their lower legs. You will see Gypsies pulling carts and carriages, ridden in the dressage ring, as well as over fences and as western pleasure horses. Our Gypsies are used for riding, jumping, and driving.
