Description

Spirit Horse II ~ Leopard Gypsy Vanner Fire painting by Michele Avanti

My love of horses has been a constant since I took my first my breath. The Appaloosa is one of my great loves. Here I have painted a leopard appaloosa horse in the body of a Gypsy Vanner, another amazing breed. Here the young colt runs in the fire of the morning sun, his Spirit Guide alongside him. I hope you enjoy it. I loved this one so much, I have also painted it in blue.

The Irish Cob or Coloured Cob, known as the Gypsy Horse or Gypsy Vanner in the United States, is a type or breed of domestic horse from the British Isles. It a small, solidly-built horse of cob conformation and is often, but not always, piebald or skewbald. It is the only broken-coloured horse breed of the British Isles, and is particularly associated with the Pavee and Roma travelling peoples of Britain and Ireland. There was no stud-book or breed association for horses of this type until 1996.[1] It is now considered a breed[1] and can be registered with a number of breed associations.[a] Other names for this breed include Gypsy Cob and Tinker Horse. The Drum Horse is similar in appearance, but larger.
From about 1850 travelling people in the British Isles began to use a distinct type of horse to pull their vardos, the caravans in which they had just begun to live and travel. The colour and look of the breed were refined in the years after the Second World War. Horses of this type were first exported to the United States in 1996.
