Petal at 9 years in 2012.
| Rose Petal is our second Gypsy Vanner mare. She is a
half-sister to Rawnie; both are by America's first Gypsy Vanner
stallion, the late 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. On April 18, 2017, Petal had a gorgeous black and white filly by BB King! Petal has had seven foals total, five fillies and two colts. See her babies here! |
