Rose Petal
GV00047F1

 

Rose Petal is our second Gypsy Vanner mare.  She is a half-sister to Rawnie; both are by America's first Gypsy Vanner stallion, Cushti Bok.  Petal's dam is Gypsy Gold's Rose, a DNA confirmed daughter of The Lion King and a granddaughter of The Lob on her dam's side.  From the day she was born, I wanted her!  I purchased her full sibling in utero in 2003, since she wasn't for sale.  That foal was a colt, Perfect Storm (see sales page.)  Since I didn't need a colt that was related to Rawnie, I sold him.  These many years later (Petal is seven!) I was able to purchase Petal from Anne Crowley of Vintage Vanners.  I am thrilled!  Rawnie and Petal are the only two horses I have ever felt like I "had to have" and they are both home with me now!

Petal is homozygous for tobiano and black so her foals will always be black-based pinto.  Petal is in foal to BB King from Gypsy Gold due April 2012.  This foal will be pinto and will be for sale.  Contact us if interested in this foal!  Petal has had three foals before now, one filly and two colts.  See her babies here!
