Shakespeare definitely lives up to all the accolades that have been placed on the Gypsy Vanners breed! He’s quiet, fearless, loves people, and of course he’s stunning! Solid colored Gypsies are hard to find because solid colors were intentionally bred out of the breed during the wars because the the Gypsy people didn’t want the countries confiscating them all. Their disposition and bravery made them ideal horses for the military, but horses with white were excluded because they were too easily seen, so white was introduced into the breed and that’s why most are either black and white(Piebalds) or red and white(Skewbalds). Shakespeare not only has that beautiful black coat, and thick mane, but he as a tail that literally drags two feet behind him! He’s perfect with riders of all ages and abilities. He’s great out on the trails. Shakespeare is like a celebrity everywhere he goes, people are always turning heads and asking for pictures with him. He’s the only horse like him that we’ve ever had, and we may never have another one! He’s an absolute treat to have in the barn and we’ll definitely miss him!
