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! :)

    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! :)
