A bit about the appaloosa spotted Gypsy:
Most people think pinto when they think of the color of the Gypsy horse or cob. In fact, Gypsy horses come in all colors from palomino to appaloosa spotted. Most of the rarer colors are still found in small numbers in the UK, Ireland and the continents that Gypsy people are found. The spots descend from the old oriental lines.
"Silver" is called the "few spot leopard" due to showing only a few spots yet carrying two genes for the spotting trait.To inherit one copy you see the spotting color on the body or roaning blanket. To inherit two causes the genes to "wipe out" the body color so you see a white body with only a few spots. Since the sire gives each foal one of the copies of his spotting gene on each baby "Silver" will 100% pass on a spotting gene to each foal since he has two. We go so far as to guarantee that your foal sired by silver will carry one spotting gene and show color/characteristics by maturity. Think of Silver if you'd like to add, not only quality, but to also to add the rare and flashy color of the spotted Gypsy!
The only few-spot Gypsy Cob in the USA!
He's also only one of a very small handful of Gypsy Vanners in the USA with spots!
