Synopsis

A marvellous book with numerous colour photos by US-Irish Traveller Lise McNamara. In the USA, the official breed name is Gypsy Horses or Gypsy Vanners and Lise and her husband and daughter breed them on their ranch, Blarney Stone Acres.Lise, Steve and Kelsey are unusual because in the whole of the USA there are only 500 Gypsy horses. Lise says, "We are so proud of these horses. They have a quality of elegance, beauty, and movement that is incredible. They are unlike any other breed of horse."
