The Gypsy Cob , also known as Irish Cob , Gypsy Horse or Gypsy Vanner , is a type or type of domestic horse from the British Isles. This is a conformation of a small and sturdy horse and often, but not always, bead or skewbald; it is mainly associated with Irish tourists and Romani traveling people from the UK and Ireland. There was no stud-book or breed association for this type of horse until 1996. ^{: 58} Now considered a breed ^{: 58} and can be registered with a number of breed associations..

From about 1850, people traveling in the British Isles began using different types of horses to attract their vardos, caravans where they had just started living and traveling. The colors and appearance of the breed were purified in the years after the Second World War. This horse was first exported to the United States in 1996.

Characteristics

Gypsy horses are usually, but not always, dappled. ^{: 314} It may also be skewbald or solid color; a solid colored horse with a white splash on the abdomen called "blagdon" or "splattered". There are no color coat requirements in the breed standard of the Irish Cob Society, Gypsy Cob Register, Gypsy Vanner Horse Society, Gypsy Horse Registry of America, or Australasian Gypsy Horse Society. Since horses are from the British Isles, English color names may be used in enrollment in the United States.

There is a lot of breeding for Gypsy horses, with most minor variations in their respective breed standards. The desired height range is from 13 to 16 hands (52 to 64 inches, 132 to 163 cm) in the United States and Australasia, but in Ireland and continental Europe, the desired height limit rises to 16.2 hands (66 inches). , 168Ãƒ,Ã‚Â® cm) for some types and they allow both lighter-bones and larger horses than normally desired by American organizations. Some stud-books have different categories: The Gypsy Horse Registry of America has two high classifications: Part A for horse races under 14.2 hands (58 inches, 147 cm) and Part B for hand horse race 14.2 (58 inch, 147 cm) and ends. Part C is for Gypsy Crossbred horses. The Dutch student book for the Gypsy horse, Nederlands Stamboek voor Tinkers, identified there as "Tinker horse," grouped horses into three groups: "cob," "vanner," and "grai," based on the height in meters and degree of refinement. Types of cobs are about 14.3 to 15.1 hands (59 to 61 inches, 150 to 155 cm), and verbs 15.1 to 16.2 hands (61 to 66 inches, 155 to 168 cm). The finer "Grai" may have any size but is usually in the 14.3 to 16.2 hand range.

Fur, long hair on the feet, is considered a "characteristic and decorative feature of Irish Cob", but is not a requirement for registration.

A facial profile Gypsy Horse should be straight, not too dished or roman nose. A "sweet" head, smoother than most draft horses, is desirable. ^{: 393-394} The breed standard GHA states that the head may be "sweet", "the head of a small horse type neat ", meaning without roughness and proportion to the body, but AGHS calls firmly to a sweet head," finer than the Shire may have... with wide forehead, generous jaw, square muzzle, and even a bite ". According to GVHS, "the forehead should be flat and wide... with [t] he frontal bone... flat to slightly convex".

His neck is strong, muscular, and long in "with a neck sling slightly deeper than a lighter offspring". The chest should be wide, deep, and muscular. Withers is "knowledgeable, not tall and subtle, that is, almost invisible". Most standards require "tilt" shoulders. But the GVHS standard is more precise, by setting the shoulder angle from 45 degrees to 60 degrees. The back should be combined with a well-grown rib and a deep heart rhythm. The length of the belly line should be twice of the rear topline and the horse should not appear 'wasp waisted'. Standard Dutch breeds for vannels and tuna types require strong and muscular buildings with abundant feathers, similar to other associations. "Grai" is classified as a lighter and more refined driving type.

The strong back foot defines the race as a small draft horse, "designed for strength and strength, but with class, presence and style." They are sometimes described as having "apple butts" because the group is round and "very generous, smooth and spacious". The back of a badly muscled or too-oblique butt is not acceptable. Lines that measure the length of the hips should also be horizontal; if the tailhead falls below the horizontal line that cuts the hip point, "hips/horse groups will approach a too steep angle for Vanner Gypsy".

The bones in the foot should be heavy, clean, and flat. Standard GVHS call for arm lengths for 55% to 45% cannon ratio. The front foot should be clean and flat on the joints and bones; the front pasterns must be tilted at the same angle as the shoulders and should not be short. The line drawn from the buttock should touch the back of the mace, run "parallel" to the cannon bone, and touch the ground just behind the "heel center". The angle of the web and nails of the hindleg is more vertical than the forefoot, usually more than 50 degrees. Hooves have strong walls and well-shaped frogs, round and with wide heels.

The hind legs of the Gypsy Horse must display the proper angulation for an attractive horse, though not to the degree found in larger breeds of hairy breeds such as the modern Shire and Clydesdale. Unlike conformational conformational cowhide-hockedness, where only the lower legs are turned outward, the entire back leg of the Gypsy Horse is set so that the angle is outward. As a result, when the horse's hind legs are arranged precisely from the rear, their cannon bones appear parallel.

Gypsy horse has a different echo. According to GHA standards, "The steps must be correct, supple and strong, showing good encouragement from behind, showing a strong urge, flowing, easy in appearance". Horse movement should be "natural, not artificial... Some have higher knee action than others, the same way of walking can vary from short and economical to longer, reaching step." The GHRA standard requires "a stable forward path with impulses." Ground covers run with a slight feather at the extension point. "

The Gypsy Horse must be a "strong, good, (very) smart partner who works willingly and harmoniously with his keepers.They are also portrayed as friendly and manageable, eager to please, confident, brave, alert, and loyal to people a friendly and sincere prospect.The Gypsy horse is known for its gentle, manageable, and sensible disposition. "

Gypsy horses are prone to common ailments for feathered feathered horses. The most serious is chronic progressive lymphoedema. This condition may have a genetic component, such as similar conditions in humans. However, studies to date have not identified the causal genes. Less attention is dermatitis pastern ("oily heel"). The damp environment under the feathers is the ideal environment for a combination of fungi and mites believed to be the cause.

History

Gypsy horses were raised by Romans from the United Kingdom to attract vardoes where they lived and traveled. Roman had arrived in the British Isles in 1500 AD, but they did not start living in vardoes until about 1850. ^{: 22} Before that, they travel with wheelbarrow or are ongoing and sleeping under or in this cart or in small tents. ^{: 29} The top use of Gypsy caravan occurred in the later part of the 19th century and the first two decades from the 20th. ^{: 51}

Some aspects of training, management, and horse characteristics used to attract vardo are unique. For example, horses are trained not to stop until they reach the top of the hill; if not, may not start again. Training begins at a very early age with a young horse tied "with a short strap from the head to the traces on the lapel of the horses", and leads together on the off side. "reference nowrap">: 59 An old hat is sometimes placed on a frightening horse's head so it makes it impossible to look back above the top of the blindfold on the wagon looming on his back. A horse used to attract vardo which is a permanent home is usually in excellent condition due to a combination of exercise, grazing various vegetables in hedges, and good quality care; The horse is considered part of the family. ^{: 61} Since the family kids live near the horse, someone has "unreliable temperament." can not be tolerated ". ^{: 63}

Gypsy horses are also used to attract "train traders... Used along with caravans as runabout and work vehicles and while on the go". : 23 This is also known as flatbed or trolley, and examples appear in the annual London Horse Harness Parade.

The Gypsy Horse breed as it is presently thought to have begun to form shortly after the Second World War. ^{: 63} When the Romans had their first start living in vardoes around 1850, they used mules and drove horses of every kind suitable to attract them. : 62 This then includes the colored horses that have become outdated in the general public and are usually destroyed. ^{: 62-63} Among them there are many colorful Shire horses. ^{: 43} Many of these ended with Romani breeders, and by the 1950s, they were considered a valuable status symbol in that culture. ^{: 63} The horses were seen very briefly in fashion around the time of the Second World War, but quickly came out of fashion for colored horses, which had defended popularity to date. ^{: 58} Higher initial height of the offspring that comes from the influence of Clydesdales and Shires. ^{: 63}

In the formative years of the Gypsy Horse, Rome proliferated not only for certain colors, huge feathers, and larger bones, but also to increase the action and smaller size. To improve the action when running, they first tried breeding Hackney Pony, but this blood reduces fur and bones. Therefore Rome turned to Part D Welsh Cob to add more animated trot to breed without losing any other desired traits. Another trend in breeding is a steady decline in height, a trend still exists among many Romani breeders. In the 1990s, the average height of the breed was still more than 15 hands (60 inches, 152 cm), but horses 14.3 to 15 hands (59 to 60 inches, 150 to 152 cm) began to be considered more desirable, mainly because economic reasons. John Shaw, a painter of the wagon car from Milnrow, Rochdale, Lancaster, was quoted in 1993 as saying, "Very large, colorful fur is now in fashion, they are status symbols... but they are not really economical animals. to feed, armor and shoes... and they do not stand for the job, so you want a vocal type from 14.3 to 15 hands (59 to 60 inches, 150 to 152 cm) "; bigger horses need more food than smaller ones, and use larger armor and horse shoes. ^{: 64}

The most widely used breeds by Romani breeders to organize not only the size but also the kind of Gypsy Horse of the future are Dales Pony, described as "thick, strong,... active but a great drawer". : 63 The Dales, a pony, maintains bones, feathers, and fascinating abilities derived from Shire and Clydesdale breeds but in smaller packages and because it is more economical. The Dales and, to a lesser extent, Fell Pony interbred with the Shire and Clydesdale provide the base of the Gypsy Horse today.

Because Romans who developed Gypsy Horse ^{: 387} communicate genealogy and breed information verbally, ^{: 58} information on foundation bloodstocks and significant horses in breeds is largely anecdotal. The two male breeds are known as The Old Coal Horse and Sonny Mays' Horse. It is said that The Coal Horse goes back to the Shire gray horse known as Shaw's Gray Horse of Scotland. The origins of the breed appear to be Irish, and the name Connors appears striking in the history of the breed. In an unrecorded interview, the respected Henry Connors stud gave several horse lines. These include horses with names like Ben from Bonafay, Darthle Horse from Jimmy Doyle, Henry Connors' White Horse, Horse Lob Eared, Horse Sham, and Old Henry.

Irish cobblestones can be traced back to the 18th century but also have long been regarded as a type, not a type, and vary in characteristics, although it is generally raised for light concepts and agricultural work but also capable of being ridden. It comes from crossing Thoroughbred horses, Connemara and Irish horses. ^{: 234}

Beginning in 1996, associations and breeding societies were established in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Among these are: Gypsy Vanner Horse Society (1996), Irish Cob Society (1998), Gypsy Cob and Drum Horse Association (2002), Gypsy Cob Society of America, then Gypsy Horse Registry of America (2003), Australasian Gypsy Horse Society 2007), and NZ Gypsy Cob Association (2012).

The first Gypsy horse known to come to America arrived in 1996, imported by Dennis and Cindy Thompson, who created the name Vanner Gypsy and started a community breeding.

Name

This breed is traditionally known as the Irish Cob. It is often referred to simply as "cobbled", although the term "cob" defines a kind of short-legged horse and fat rather than as a race. Other names are used throughout the world for this type, such as Gypsy Cob, Gypsy Vanner and Tinker Cob, which allude to its relationship with the travel community.

The first known importers of the Gypsy Horse to North America, Dennis and Cindy Thompson, viewed this breed as unnamed and chose the name "vanner", calling their association Gypsy Vanner Horse Society. A "vanner" is a lightweight draft suitable to attract a horse-drawn van or omnibus; term dates at least 1888. Before the formation of American society in 1996, the word "vanner" appeared in two sources printed in relation to the horses this. In 1979, Harvey described a horse owned by Romans as "a fair-sized planner, about 15.2 hours (15 1/2 hands) tall,... [c] ross-shire, with a touch of Clydesdale? is often difficult to trace. " 56 Publish in 1993 on the first known recognition of the Gypsy Horse as a different type outside of the Romani culture, Hart employs the term three times referring to the Gypsy Horse, identifying certain Gypsy Horse as a vocalist. ^{: 59, 64, 126}

Established later in 1998, 2002, and 2003, respectively, Irish Cob Society, Gypsy Cob and Drum Horse Association, and Gypsy Cob Society of America referred to as "Cob", a name used by Romani breeders. The Gypsy Horse Association, founded in 2008, uses the name "Gypsy Horse" and states on its website that it recognizes all breed names used today. Also in 2008, GCSA changed its name to Gypsy Horse Registry of America.

Breeding associations in Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands are listed in the database of Universal Bird Life Numbers under the names of "Tinker Horse" and "Tinker Pony" breeds.

Registration

Among the various associations and communities dedicated to this breed, there are several variations in the services offered. The Gypsy Horse Registry of America includes a size classification in his stud book. The Gypsy Horse Association provides access to DNA identification markers, genealogy (both anecdotal and DNA verification), and registration photos of most of the registered horse online and for free. The Gypsy Horse Association and Gypsy Horse Registry of America provide online story books. The Gypsy Vanner Horse Society provides access to its stud-book at an additional cost. The Gypsy Cob and Drum Horse Association offer inspections and several performances.

Since registration for Gypsy Horse has only existed in the last 20 years, most associations require genetic analysis for registration, to verify identity and identify future offspring. All North American Gypsy horses and Mad Horse Society use the Animal Genetics Research Laboratory from the University of Kentucky to perform DNA analysis and maintain a registered horse DNA data base. UKY is currently testing markers on 17 horse genetic makeup loci. The purpose of this analysis is to exclude or fail to exclude other horses as parents. In the spirit of cooperation, five American breed communities jointly gave permission to the University of Kentucky to use DNA markers in confirming offspring. Since information on past history, including descent, of many Gypsy Hippies imported into North America has been lost, many owners are trying to regain their animal genetic roots, and services have sprung up to fulfill this desire.

Since many horses sent for registration are never registered, American organizations evaluate horses for registration by way of photographs and origin information such as imported papers and sales bills.

Beginning in 2014, GVHS began to restrict registration to horses who became fathers of horses registered at GVHS and out of horses whose DNA markers were available and confirmed its origin. Only horses that fall between the 13 and 16 hands (52 and 64 inches, 132 and 163 cm) are eligible for registration, even though the animal status that falls outside the range can appeal to the GVHS board of directors.

The Dutch stud book only allows full registration for horse breeds previously listed on NSvT; horses identified as Irish Cob, Gypsy Cob, Gypsy Vanner, Colored Horse, Pony Travel, Black and White, or Traditional Tong can be evaluated as potential seed stock and, if appropriate, recorded in the secondary register, with offspring qualified for full registration. Horses must pass the checks to be registered. The Cob Irish community also needs an inspection process. The Gypsy Cob Register from UK & amp; Ireland, a registry run by the Travel Community, has a DNA database and requires a stallion to have a DNA profile.

Usage

Gypsy Cobs are displayed and traded on traditional horse shows, where Appleby Horse Fair is the largest in Europe. Many Tourists and Romani visit the fair in caravans and traditional horse-drawn vardos. American photographer John S. Hockensmith documented such a journey in 2004, traveled with and photographed a 60-mile (97 km) Harker family journey to Appleby in an upper-bow thrust. ^{: 12} Capstick and Donogue also published photographs taken at Appleby Fair, some vintage, and Jones published photos taken at the Yorkshire horse show, some from the early 1900's.

In North America, the first known performance class dedicated to Gypsy Horse was held at Colorado Horse Park on 28-29 August 2004, during an annual horse show, using the Gypsy Cob Society of America breed standard, now the American Gypsy Register Horse. The first Gypsy breed show, the Ohio State Fair Gypsy Vanner Horse Show, sponsored by the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society, was held in 2005 in Columbus, Ohio. There are currently a number of breed events for Gypsy Horse in the US and Canada.

In the United States, Gypsy Horse is used in many riding sports, by amateurs and youth. In 2004, the United States Dressage Federation received the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society as an affiliate member, allowing horses registered with GVHS to compete in related dressage and dressage events. The Gypsy Horse Association was accepted into the USDF program in 2008; two other colored horse associations joined in 2011.
