Virtual Vanner

This is a virtual "Gypsy Vanner" horse that I "purchased" in the online game, Horseland.
At 20 game years of age, I won't be able to "show" this guy much longer, but I did enter both him and one of my virtual Arabians, "Shazzam" in a few of the Horseland shows.
So far, Shazzam placed 15th in his first class, a novice dressage class. This gave him 15 points, plus one point just for entering the show.
I am thinking up a better name for the Gypsy horse, maybe "Fergus." (He has a decidedly non-Irish name at this time that was given him by his previous "owner.")
There are a few Gypsy horses right here in Michigan, I'd like to visit them some day. The registry is very new, and the breed is really more of a "type with a hype" as far as I can tell, but they sure are adorable. I've heard they have great temperaments, too!
With Horseland, I can own lots and lots of different horses of varying breeds!

Ah, coloured cobs! there is one tethered on a lump of grass verge on my way to work. I think he is a young horse. He looks healthy enough and he always has water so I think he is ok. Maybe I'll sneak out with a camera and photograph him.

I'd love to see photos of the cob! Please do take some!
