Sweeper's Limerick Legacy, AKA "Limerick"
Photo copyright, Mark J. Barrett www.markjbarrett.com
Affectionately known as "Limmy Lou Lou". He is a registered Gypsy Vanner Horse (AKA Gypsy Horse/Gypsy Cob). His sire is The Roadsweeper from Gypsy Gold (http://www.gypsygold.com) and his dam is Kaeli from Big Pine Farm (http://www.bigpinefarm.com).
He has sold us so much on the breed, that we have another baby on the way - due May 9th!!! We'll have a webcam up during the birth, so stay tuned for announcements :)
NOTE TO LIMERICK POOL: I have been trying to come up with a Limerick FOR my baby Gypsy Vanner colt who is named Limerick. His registered name is "Sweeper's Limerick Legacy". If anyone in this group can think of a catchy Limerick I can put on my Vanner website (www.mountainviewvannerranch.com), I would be most appreciative. And of course I'd include your name as the author. If this is not appropriate for the group, send me a message and I'll gladly delete it. Thanks! :)

Limerick is 4&1/2 months old in this photo. I can't wait to shave him down this summer and see what's under all that hair that has grown out to keep him warm and toasty this winter!

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! I confess I've never heard of a Gypsy Vanner Horse, but I just love the look of him - his coloring, his "fringe", his lines, his face..just everything. Your photographer did you right by this photo.

Thank you all! Limerick is an amazing boy. As much as I am enjoying him as a baby, the Gypsy Vanners are unbelievably breathtaking as adults. They are fairytales come true - every little girl's dream horse with the pretty colors, and long flowing manes, tails, and feathered feet. I'm on my way out to give him a big kiss on that nose right now! :)

Other great links besides mine (www.mountainviewvannerranch.com), are: www.gypsygold.com (this is the couple who discovered the breed!), www.vannercentral.com (this has listings of tons of ranches and various horses), and www.vanners.org (this is the official website for the GVHS).

Mark Barrett took the photo (www.markjbarrett.com). He's awesome - and he has a love for Gypsy Vanners, so you'll see his name everywhere if you see these horses. In that photo - those are definitely Gypsy Vanner horses. So cool! I've seen the first group you listed, going to check out the second one now. Thanks! :)
