At N’Co Vanners we are doing no embryo transfers,
unless it would benefit a mare
that we would like to show, instead of breeding.

This assures you When you purchase a N’Co Vanner
you are purchasing a one of a kind vanner for that year,
from a well thought out planned breeding for our mare,
We are not mass producing and feel this makes the bloodlines and our foals more valuable.

It is in the mission of The Gypsy Vanner Horse Society to respect the spoken words of Gypsies who have dedicated lifetimes in the pursuit of breeding the perfect Vanner/caravan horse. The breed standards were reviewed and approved in detail by a Gypsy who has maintained the same genetics born from his Vanner vision for over 56 years. He has raised several of the breeds most famous sires and dams and was instrumental in choosing the name Gypsy Vanner Horse® for his breed.

His name is Fred Walker. Upon reviewing this breed standard, Fred said, “I couldn’t have said it better myself”. Fred Walker, a.k.a. King of the Coloured Horses. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED !
