How We Met
I got a call from a friend, saying that a gypsy mare just gave birth to a foal, but sadly died in the process. I quickly drove 40 miles to get the orphan foal.When i arrived there, the mother was lying there, her foal wandering what happened to her mom. It was so sad :( "She was weak" i told them. "She was as strong as a horse could get" they replied meanly. The mother was about 350 pounds underweight, and very malnurished. "This is the worst case of animal abuse i've seen so far" i said. The foal was very sick and underweight too. I grabbed the foal, and put her in the car seat next to me, and as i was pulling out of their driveway, the man yelled "I WANT 200$ FOR THAT HORSE!" I threw the money at him and quickly drove off. I had our vet come over and examine her, she had a severe case of pinworms, and the beginning of EIA. I was worried for her life. After a couple of months she was all better! I was so excited that she lived through it! Now she is a little over 6 years, and happier and healthier than ever!!! I love her so much, and she is a trotting miracle!!!!!!! She is my special baby! and i was told she could never be ridden, that she would be to weak to be ridden or even to canter, or gallop. But just before her 3rd birthday, i went out to her stall, she was gone. i got scared, so i ran to the pasture and she was running and jumping in the air, and rolling around in the dirt, she could finally run!!!!!! i was so excited, i called the vet, he came "she's a miracle" He said!!!!!.

The History on the Gypsy Beauties The earliest records of multi-colored horses (such as the gypsy horse) are from cave drawings estimated to be approximately 20,000 years old. In past times, such multi-colored horses were believed to be omens of good fortune. The association of the Rom with horses is almost legendary. By tradition, the gypsy horse is involved in each and every aspect of family life...faithfully pulling the vardo by day, yet sufficiently amenable and patient to be the gentle mount of gypsy children when the day is done. Often staked out alongside the road with the family wagon in all types of weather when not "on the move," the gypsy horse lives and thrives for the most part by partaking of the grasses which happen to be growing where it is tethered. The heartiness and exceptional disposition of the gypsy horse is its trademark and such an animal is generally considered to be cold-blooded, incredibly adaptable from the moment of birth.Hi am Twilight and thank you for reading please vote for me for March HOTM ,heres a vote for you tooCome visit me, Twilight.
