These Gypsy Vanner or Cob mares offer a nice range of size and abilities. Traditional Cob build, sizes range from 13.3 to 14.3 hands. A big 14.3 hand Cob-built mare is a HUGE horse. If you haven't met a big Cob in person, you really have no idea. A 14.3 Gypsy Cob is far larger than a 14.3 average American horse. These horses are far more athletic than they get credit for. They have a willing disposition and give their whole heart to everything they do for their owners. The Gypsy has been very suc- cessful in many events to include Hunter/Jumper, Classic Dressage, Western Dressage, and even cattle work. They are smart and learn quickly. Check out the Flynt Hills Gypsy Vanners in the Stall Barn and see them daily in the Breed Showcase. Friday 2:00pm in TPEC Arena

Friesian The Friesian horse, best known for its black color and luxurious mane, soft eyes, long flowing tail, and feathers on their fetlocks. They are the fairy tale dream horse. The temperament of the Friesian horse is one of pure kindness, curiosity, and extreme gentle disposition. Friesians are the favorite of horse trainers at exhibition shows as

they learn quickly, demonstrating the clinician’s teaching skills, and allow an audi- ence to see their capability to take on new tasks quickly. Visit the Royal Friesians of KC in the Stall Barn and watch the Breed Showcase daily: Friday 2:00pm in TPEC Arena
