Irish Tinker Horse (also known as Irish Cob or (in USA)Gypsy Vanner) is a breed with its origin among the traveling Gypsies of the British Isles. A mix of draught horses and pony breeds give quite a large variation in size and appearance, but the typical Tinker measures 1,5 meter, and is white with large black or brown colourings. Plentiful of hair both on feet and head.
Other characteristics are the easygoingness and calmness of these horses, which have made them popular both for driving and riding. While some has been sold to USA, many horses have been exported from the British Isles to the Netherlands, Germany and Scandinavia.
