A horse from Ireland was originally a cart-pulling horse.

Gypsy horse, also called Kaufman or Irish Kaufman, is a small and strong horse from Ireland.

From about 1850, people in the British Isles began to use gypsy horses to pull their caravans. The color and appearance of this variety changed after World War II. Gypsy horses were first exported to the United States in 1996. Gypsy horses usually have spots, but they can also be solid-colored horses with drooping hair on their calves, like beards on the corn cob. Adult stallions are about 163 cm tall. The drooping hair on the legs is considered to be an important feature of gypsy horses, but this is not a necessary condition. Some gypsy horses have no drooping hair. They have broad foreheads, broad chins, square noses and mouths, strong necks, muscular muscles and breasts.

Although gypsy horse-drawn caravans are suitable for many other purposes, they have become popular. We can find that they often appear in performances and driving competitions, as well as clubs that teach people to ride horses.

Gypsy horses are characterized by thick drooping hair from the knees. A long and complete mane and tail are also common features. This important hair needs a lot of extra care and grooming, especially when preparing for the performance. They are a popular choice for family horses.

Gypsy horses have no specific color, however, the most common color of this breed is the coat color with white or black blocks.

They need to eat a certain food. Because the metabolism of this kind of horse is slow, many owners will feed them high-quality hay instead of concentrate, and gypsy horses who eat feed will have metabolic problems. These problems will lead to scabbing on the legs of horses, which will lead to swelling and limping of the calves.

Special attention should be paid to the long mane and tail of gypsy horses, especially those living in muddy environment. Many horse owners braid their manes to help prevent tangles and keep them clean. So is the tail.

The hair of gypsy horses also needs to be combed and washed frequently. Keeping the calf white makes the horse more ornamental.

Gypsy horses were imported to the United States in 1998. It is also used in the filming of movies and TV series, because the gypsy horse is docile, easy to train and excellent in appearance, and it is a great horse for anyone.

They are excellent choices for entertainment,

So it's getting easier and easier to find gypsy horses in America. The price of each gypsy horse is about $654.38+0 million, which is equivalent to buying two cars, but the horse must be fostered in an equestrian club, and the annual maintenance fee is about $30,000. This is the reason why raising is more expensive than buying.
