Big Sky Peggy
(2001 Imported Gypsy Vanner Mare)
Confirmed in Foal to Taliesin for 2006
|
| Peggy is the first Gypsy Vanner mare we purchased. She was imported in 2003 and we were thrilled when she finally arrived . |
You might say that Peggy is Gypsy royalty. She was raised on the farm of well-known Gypsy breeder Fred Walker and is a daughter of the amazing Lion King who is reported to be one of the most phenomenal Gypsy stallions in England! Click here to see Peg's pedigree.
Peggy is the epitome of what a Gypsy Vanner should be. She's a tremendously thick, correct, well-built mare. She has lovely clean bone, wonderful muscling, and the prized “sweet” head. Peggy is going to take after her father, Lion King, and be a very heavy mare when she is done growing. She already stands14.2 hands tall.

Peggy has tons of luxurious hair and the abundant silky feather that her bloodlines are famous for. Her mane already reaches to her shoulder and her tail is incredibly thick. She has the prized jet black and white coloring with a sprinkling of ink spots. Lion King is HOMOZYGOUS, and we believe that Peggy is too.
Peggy has the most amazing peaceful disposition. She is sweet and adaptable and willing to do anything you ask of her. She loves people and enjoys spending time in their company. She is a favorite wherever she goes, and has an uncanny ability to work her way into everyone’s heart.

Some may ask, “Why the name Peggy?” and not some regal sounding name for such an amazing mare. It’s a known fact that most Gypsies don’t name their horses. They simply refer to them by way of their breeding, as in she is out of the “such and such” stallion or mare. But, in some special situations they will name a horse that stands out for some reason. Such was the case with Peggy. She became a favorite of Fred Walker's young daughters, and they gave her the name Peggy. We have chosen to keep her name as a tribute to them and their special relationship with her. |
