We hit the jackpot with Brightwater Babette, a solid black bomb with 4 white socks and could not be any more pleased with what Beau and Appleby have produced. With her beautiful neck, sweet head, short back and great feather, she is perfect in every way and can not fault this girl. She has everything the big gypsy breeders are striving for and even though she will not be tall she will be instrumental in improving the breed down under with her impeccable breeding behind her. She only goes to show that bloodlines do not guarantee a good horse, but give you a far better chance of producing one. Babette's bloodlines come from some of the best bred gypsy horses in the UK and she is a keeper for Brightwater Gypsy Vanners. She is rising 3 now and in foal to Tuscan for a guaranteed buckskin foal!
