RAVENHAWK FARM • THE GYPSY DRUM HORSE 

Thanks 👍 They are a well kept secret, but we hope to change that!

@@HorseTVGlobalwhen was this interview filmed?

@@HorseTVGlobalcan you tell me why they said only Shires or Clydesdales or Fresians are bred to the Gypsy Vanner to produce the Drum horses. So why not use Percherons?

@@nicolaxoxo1 It's mainly because Percherons do not have feathering. When you cross a horse with feathering to one without, you don't get the full true feathering. You often get very little to no feathering. Another reason has to do with color patterns. In order for a drum horse to be registered it must have Gypsy along with Clydesdale or Shire in it's bloodline. It can't be any other breed including Friesians.

Thank you! we appreciate your kind comments!

Hello, I live in Canada too. Do you sill breed or own gypsy vanners? I would love to see them.

I'm not sure what the problem is, I can see the episode from here. The link is: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g9ZSycnNZCw.html so it is available. Have you tried a different device or computer to see what happens? Thanks for your input!

​@@HorseTVGlobal It's their web site that says their web site cannot be reached. In fact I can't find them in Negaunee or anywhere in Michigan. It's only been a year since you posted their documentary, yet it's as if the farm has vanished. ;(

They are not called Gypsy Drum horses. There is no such thing. They are simply Drum horses. A mix of Gypsy and either Clydesdale or Shire. They can't have more than 50% Gypsy to be in the Stud Book and no less than 8% Gypsy.
