Would you recommend a Gypsy Vanner / Cob?
I'm considering buying a horse. I am very interested in the Gypsy Vanner and traditional cob. I've heard usually has a good temperament and make excellent hackers and companies weight. Are they good jumpers? Any information appreciated:) Thank you all:) Just one more question, make good weight carriers thoroughbred? I ask on behalf of my friend who is 15st and hope to return to riding. I know the riders are usually under the 11th and so on, but can handle more than a thoroughbred?
This is an excellent image of a gypsy cob. http://www.bigskygypsy.com/images/Tali-right-front-web.jpg Do you see how big of bones that is!? Usually have a little bit of an excitable temperament, but love to please. You can jump, but very small jumps and they are not good to jump performances and competitions. They are often used for breeding, halter classes and pull carts. Sometimes, even trail riding. But they are very awkward and difficult to mount successfully. If you're getting your first horse and want to go, I would suggest and Appendix Quarter Horse. They are very quiet and do great in all horses. Quarter horses are thoroughbred cross. I rode a dressage and learn from it. I have a thoroughbred, and is a little crazy. If you are looking to show, I suggest taking a lot of lessons and camps first. You can benefit from leasing a horse. You will not have pay the full cost, but you can ride at any time and take care of yourself horse. For your first horse, here is what I would suggest. Example: Mare or gelding. More 7 years of age. About 14 to 16 hh. bombproof. Clips, trailers, ties. Stands for farrier. Western, English or hair. You can do basic dressage (collection, that extends under the neck, lyieldild, meet the hindquarters under it, change of foot) base jumping, road trips. Great kids horse. Wise safe and healthy. I would not recommend a horse or a horse seven years younger then. Young horses tend to be fickle and arrogant (I am in the process formation of a three year old Thoroughbred gelding) and stud walls will be pulled to get a mare in heat. I would not recommend some of the hottest races as an Arab, Thoroughbred, Hanover, Hot Blood, etc. I have managed, trained and assembled them and tend to be a little more excitable by nature. If you like horses large, robust, and then go for the gypsy cob. Any horse can jump, but not all love and not everyone can do well. These horses have large bones no tion for the jump. They have great progress and, possibly, as a horse could do dressage. I love Clyedsdale / Thoroughbred crosses. Although they are nuts, I would like that 3 fourth quarter of a thoroughbred Clyde. Because then maybe have the power, intelligence and strength of the Clyde, but I would have the spirit, talent jump and the rate of thoroughbreds. As you can probably tell, horses are my life and I love to jump.
