Additional Comments

May Day Big Red is a 2025 (GVHS registration pending) Gypsy Vanner gelding with classic type and an international pedigree. He is sired by Dakota Spirit Ori (GVHS #02199F, Hall of Fame, Versatility Medallion, Supreme Halter Champion, multiple-time National Champion & High Point Show winner) and out of Pick Your Poison of Thacker Rhodes, a quality mare imported directly from Ireland in 2020.

Big Red is a striking red sorrel colt with chrome markings, expected to mature around 14.... (read more) 2–14.3h. He is extremely athletic and has strong bone, a well-balanced hip and shoulder, and a bold yet kind expression that reflects his pedigree. With his substance, movement, and presence, he shows the qualities of a stallion or show-ring prospect — or could make an exceptional gelding for trail and family life.

Raised at altitude in Colorado and handled from birth, Big Red is developing the strength, soundness, and calm temperament that the Gypsy Vanner breed is known for. Dakota Spirit Ori consistently passes on beauty, balance, and trainability, while Pick Your Poison brings imported Irish bloodlines, adding rarity and depth to his pedigree.
