Additional Comments

Jess is a 10-year-old registered Gypsy Vanner mare who has done a little of everything and stayed easy through all of it. She stands 14.1hands . She is by GV02105F2 Feathered Gold Finn-tastic and out of GV04363 Jewelette.

She has produced two foals for us and is an outstanding mother — attentive, sensible with her babies, and easy to handle through foaling and weaning. She is open now and ready to breed back. At 10 she has plenty of years left, so a buyer is getting a proven producer with most of her breeding career still ahead of her.... (read more)

Jess is not just a pasture broodmare. She rides out on the trail and is a pleasant, level-headed partner under saddle — the kind of mare you can catch, tack up, and take down the road. She is also green broke to drive. She has the basics on her and understands the job, but she will need a knowledgeable person to keep putting time on her to finish her out. We would rather tell you that up front than have you find out later.

Her papers go straight back to the imported UK stock the breed was founded on. Her dam Jewelette is double The Roadsweeper UK — third generation through Charlie, and again in the fifth through Sligo and Son Of The Roadsweeper UK. Behind that sit The Coal Horse, The Old Henry Palace Horse, Limerick Black Mare, Fred Walker Mare and Old Mother Riley. Her sire's side carries Clononeen Drumshambo, Mickey Finn, His Majesty The King and Shogun, back to The Original Kent Horse and The Horseshoe Mare. Full five-generation pedigree available on request.

The best thing about Jess is her mind. Nothing much rattles her. She stands quiet for handling, is good for the farrier, and takes new things in stride.

She would suit someone wanting a broodmare who can still be ridden, or a family looking for a gentle trail mare with the option to finish her in harness.
