| Introducing HORSE FEATHERS AIDEN our extraordinary Gypsy Stallion |
The newest addition to the Custom Chrome line up is Aiden, a spectacular 14' traditional Gypsy Cob stallion! A very
photogenic boy he is, blessed with all the characteristics so desirable in his breed! Long profuse feather,
suspended powerful movement and wonderful extensions!
The traditional Gypsy Cob is a horse created and used by the gypsies/travellers of Ireland and Great Britain for
pulling their caravan homes. They are a small draft horse with full mane, tail and feather. The Gypsy Cob is a
distinct body type, bred from a combination of British and Irish breeds including the Shire, Clydesdale, and Dales
pony.
Its draft heritage is displayed in it's compact form.Traditional cobs stand from 13.2 to 14.2 hands, heavy boned,
the breed is prized for its abundant mane and tail and profuse feathering. The traditional Gypsy Cob comes in a
variety of colours both solid and coloured. They have been bred and selected for strength, stamina and
temperament. As a member of the family, the Gypsy Cob must have a quiet intelligence to remain docile around
children and the strength and stamina to thrive in a life on the road.
With a heritage going back hundreds of years the Gypsy Cob is now a registered breed to preserve the
characteristics that made them a valuable asset as a coveted family member. Today the Gypsy Cob make
wonderful all-round horses. Whether your interest is driving, dressage, or jumping, a Gypsy Cob could be just the
equine for you.
Aiden stands 14 hands and is homozygous for the tobiano gene. We have been lucky enough to find a fabulous
imported piebald Nobby duaghter to bred to Aiden. She comes to us a bit weathered from in a pasture setting that
did not include regular grooming. We will concentrate on getting Bobbi into show condition this year and breed her
in 2010 for a 2011 foal. Both Aiden and Bobbi are very , very similar in type, and we have great hopes for this
pairing.
While we do not advocate prolific cross breeding of horses, homozygous gypsy stallions do cross well with certain
breeds. Cross a gypsy wih a welsh for a coloured british sport pony, cross with a feathered draft for a drum horse
and perhaps for the most distingquished of mounts, cross with a friesen fora gypsian. A correct cob has been bred
to trot for hours on end, and this movement when coupled with a friesen can produce a very stunning horse.
