Awesome Gypsy Vanner Horses at work driving living wagons, carts, buggies, etc. Filmed on the roads to Appleby Horse Faire, U.K and various locals in the U.S. by equine filmmaker/photographer Mark J. Barrett.
There is nothing more beautiful than a wagon train and the sound of horses hoofs the sight and the sound just does something to me that I can't explain only a travller knows it takes me home it's so beautiful to see and hear my mother and farther are travllers I love the sound so much thankyou for the video x
as a girl i had and loved my palamino vanner stalion, apache chief. at 73 hes been long awaiting me but he lived to nearly 30. he pulled, road, tricked, backed up, jumped and had the best sence of fun and humor and kindness that never failed to amaze me.we roamed the laurel ridge of w.pa.summer barebacked swimming can not be beat..
Beautiful horses. Simply poetry in motion. You would also be hard pressed to find a more willing and loving companion. Willow, my Gypsy Vanner filly, and I spend hours out in the pasture together. I have heard they make a wonderful and flashy trail horse as well as a solid cart horse. For now I just feel extremely honored to share my life with such a wonderful creature. Long live the Gypsy breed.
Coming from a family that has bred these horses with over 30yrs its great to see a video with such apprieciation for the breed. Well done fantastic video 👍
I'd love to live in a tiny house, but since I don't drive, I'd do somethig like this. Been doing horse riding and horse and carriage for six years, and yes I'd wear a riding helmet when being on the road, in case the horse gets spooked by cars etc
If you love this sort of thing then enter the world of Yorkie Greenwood Of Northumberland England Builder and painter of Gypsy Caravans most amazing skills of art work
wow....I've just come back from Appleby Horse Fair but this is a beautiful video, amazing photographer, ah feathers feathers just love, thanks for this really enjoyed it. you should do some more.
Barrel Top wagons and heavy colored cobs were once a regular sight on the country roads of Ireland,its all history now,the pace of life moved into the fast lane,pity really....
I've always thought it a bit of a load 4 just 1 poor horse...I would only use 2 horses. As long as I can remember I've wanted to rent a Gypsy Caravan and drive through Ireland. Mine would definitely have a porta pottie though. 😁
OH WOW!!!.....you can see really good starting at about 0:25 your horse on the left side of your wagon is not pulling, he/she is sliding there hide legs against the pavement of the road!!!.....LOL I never seen that before!!!
I'm smiling. This video reminds me of the scene in "Friendly Persuasion" when Gregory Peck & his neighbor race their carriages enroute to Sunday services.
lovely to see, but one black horse was having severe problems on his near side. was there a problem with his tack? I sure hope he isn't being used with an injury
i know this is an older comment but if you wanted to know it is because of the camera it spooked him/her a little and it wanted to stop and look at it to figure out what was going on, but it obviously couldn't cuz the other horse was pulling.
I love the idea of gypsy caravans and the horses look marvellous but can someone explain why some of the horses have their heads pulled to one side and why no one noticed the black horse nearly on its haunches and skidding on the road.
Nothing, he just really doesn't want to go so he is locking his knees to try and stop moving. But since the other horse is going he just gets pulled along and slides.
LOL. You can pick up a Gyspy Cob in the Uk for free! They make fantastic good all round horses. I went for Clydesdales in the end because they are a rare breed in the UK.
