Early hours Monday morning our home bred Gypsy Vanner filly Jofranka ( Frankie ) gave birth to a little filly onto English pasture , we had spent many days looking out for the birth as all was in place , slack rear end and bagging up of the mare , we did think about bringing mum in as this was her first foal plus there were others in the field , in fact Frankies mum with a week old foal , and the sire to both babies .
For now we are calling new baby Kizzy as it is a Gypsy girls name .
How confused can a little Gypsy Vanner foal be ? so far she has tried to suckle her aunt , her dad , and my husband , i dont know who was more in shock , she is a very sweet baby , all of a wobble unlike her brother a fab colt who is proving to be a real boy , from day one he was an explorer causing his mother to have many kittens each time he went off to explore , Kizzy goes off to explore without her mother knowing she has gone , she then gets lost and cries , all come to her aid ,her mother , her aunt, and her father , gypsy Vanners are a special breed , they look after their own , never in all my years of breeding have i been able to have foals born out in the field with mum and dad , aunt , baby brother and all . Please follow my post as i have much more to share , and please go and take a good look at the GYPSY MVP site , so many great horses to share with you , and a friendly team second to none .
