Stealing Gypsy Treasure: America's Love Affair with the Gypsy and His Horse, Paperback/Joyce M. Christian

Description Have you encountered a Gypsy Vanner Horse? If you can answer yes to that question, whether you are a horse person or not you have if for only a moment been captivated. The out of the box beauty of these horses has been turning heads since the late 1990s when they were first introduced as a breed. The horse is a lifetime achievement of the Gypsy culture in Ireland and England. However, given the nature of this culture, the world of the internet, and the horse industrys driving force horse trading, confusion rather than understanding has appeared in the form of multiple breed names, multiple registries, and variety rather than consistency in breeding. Stealing Gypsy Treasure offers food for thought and clarity for those who have been drawn to these mysteriously magic and enchanting animals. If you are new to these horses this will be a welcomed introduction to the Gypsy people and how nature chose this intriguing culture to create one of its most remarkable works of art.
