Strainger is a Multi-National Champion Gypsy Cob who was used to introduce and promote the Gypsy Cob Breed outside of the U.K. Many of Straingers offspring went on to become Best of Breed Champions in other countries and he has sired many multiple performance Champions.

*** UPDATE 4/12/2011 *** Our Emerald Winds MAYA Sired by EW Strainger has just made history here in the USA! She has won Supreme Grand Champion Gypsy over all, including Stallions to become Supreme Grand Champion Halter!

Our stallions have been hand picked by my husband and I on our many travels overseas working on the breed and we are lucky to stand a truly fabulous group. We only buy top quality and we view literally thousands of cobs each year. We BUY one or two, many more times, None. We are quality breeders very dedicated to the breed. Each was chosen for a different specific reason to compliment mares. Some of these stallions have been tested and rated in countries where there are thousands of the breed, (NOT hundreds as here in the USA) by judges that have grown up with and ridden as well as shown the Gypsy Cob breed for a lifetime.

Not all great stallions of the Gypsy Cob breed are papered and rated in any registry and as common sense applies a fantastic stallion is a fantastic stallion with or without paperwork! You can take one look at Emerald Winds Collin and your jaw drops open and then he moves out and you cannot take your eyes off of him. He is balanced, he is perfectly built, he is exceptionally gentle and kind hearted and he is unbelievably intelligent! Emerald Winds Dyson The Steel Town Boy moves like no other cob you have ever seen, or I am certain, will ever see. He passes this to his offspring and it is an amazing trait in a breeding stallion.

A good breeding stallion is NOT only an animal of quality and beauty - he PASSES THEM ON to his offspring and this entire group are PROVEN to pass on the qualities we all admire in the best of the best gypsy cobs!

There is a huge misconception and it seems to be growing here in the USA that "every" gypsy horse has a traceable heritage.

That is unbelievably false and many of the "bloodlines" we now see being touted on many trader web sites here in the USA are incorrect or downright falsified for sales purposes. Many times sales sites have incorrect sires and dams being shown on horses for sale. PLEASE if you are breeding and or buying Gypsy Cobs, be aware of this problem. "Bobs Good Stallion" this morning can be traded for five mares late morning while Bob aquires a new "Bobs Good Stallion" late this afternoon! Common Sense applies here folks.

PLEASE BE A RESPONSIBLE BUYER AND BREEDER - STAY AWAY FROM "PUPPY MILL GYPSY FARMS" announcing huge volumes of foals or horses for sale or at auction. Unfortunately for our breed, many unscrupulous breeding farms have opened up thinking this is a get rich quick scheme and are overbreeding low or even worse quality animals. BE AWARE OF THIS. A puppy mill is a puppy mill, even in horses! If you care about animals at all, DO NOT SUPPORT these breeders by purchasing stock from them. IF you witness horrendous conditions for any animals, report to the proper local authorities and SPCA and Humane Associations in that area. IF AT ALL POSSIBLE, take photographs of the conditions and forward them to the local authorities. Horror stories abound. For all of us that are honorable breeders that care about all animals, it is a terrible disgrace in our breed and breaks our hearts for the horses involved.

Buy a horse FOR "THE" HORSE that you are considering. Buy the very best conformation that your money can afford and then figure out if you feel your animal has the best traits of the breed and should be used as breeding stock. Do an honest evaluation of your stock and then ask someone else to do the same. We all love our own horses (hopefully) but that does not mean every colt should be a breeding stallion or every mare a broodmare.

Please do not simply "breed" to perpetuate another gypsy cob or another animal. If you can look at your horse and "know" that he or she could be better conformation, could have better straighter legs, could have a better head, has too small a head, has too thick bones and too thin a body, is not in proportion, has bulge eyes, pig eyes, or eyes not in proportion, does not move fluidly or well or has gait problems, is not athletic and sound, has any health problems of ANY kind, if you can see ANY of this in your horse, Please Do Not Breed Your Horse. We are producing LIVE ANIMALS here that not only cost a good amount to purchase but a large amount to sustain and raise in good health.

"Not breeding" may mean you did not "get to make some of your money back" on a horse you thought you could do this with but you also may be saving yourself some major headaches and or expense with a problem pregnancy or a problem foal in the future. BE a Responsible Breeder is all anyone can ask. Remember, NOT ALL HORSES SHOULD BE BRED. NOT EVEN ALL GYPSY HORSES!

We need the breed to move forward in the USA with excellent conformation being at the forefront. We need good people to make responsible decisions for the future of the Gypsy Cob Breed in the USA is at stake.
