From the Breyer Traditional series Bill and Wendy Ricci's piebald mare Kuchi occupies a special in history as the first Gypsy Vanner born in America. The name "Gypsy Vanner" is a perfect fit. It refers to a horse selectively bred by the Gypsies of Great Britain and Ireland, and the Vanner is defined as "a horse suitable to pull a caravan". The ideal Vanner resembles a small shire, with more feather, a sweeter head and more colour, although the breed is based primarily on its sturdy conformation over colour.
