Mandy's horse question of the day
It is always fascinating to watch the development of a new breed of horse. Currently there are two new breeds in the United States that are making a big splash in this area.
One are the Gypsy Cobs/Drummers/Vanners....(they have competing registries)...and the other "new" breed was developed in my own backyard--so to speak--here in Kentucky. They go under a few different names (one of them very geologically confusing) and have competing registries. Many horses are double registered.
Both of the Gypsy Vanner breeds and this new Kentucky breed have color requirements. The above color, known locally as chocolate but world wide as liver chestnut, is a fine example of this naturally gaited breed....the competing registry accepts any color.
Mandy leased a three year old of this breed for a month a few summers ago. Can you come up with one or two or three names for this breed?
This fine stallion "Doc Holiday" is a foundation sire of the breed.

I don't keep up anymore. I am not a huge fan of gaited horses although they are cool to ride.
