"Lexington" is a great example of "gypsy magic", having the gentle and intelligent personality that these horses are famous for.  He is truly a miniature Shire Horse!

 

Lex has been sold to Luewin Hunt Griffin in Florida and is currently in training for a career in western style showing, reining!   He has truly impressed his new owners with his intelligence, sweetness and athletic ability!   We will keep everyone updated with his career exploits in our blog:  either Bellbottom Farm or:

 

 

Lexington", registered with the Gypsy Cob Society of America as BoHo's Cold Fusion, is a black and white (piebald or pinto/tobiano) colt born in 2006.  His mom was imported by Black Forest Shires and Gypsy Horses, and while in quarantine in Lexington, Kentucky this good mare (Lexus; she is registered with GHRA as "A Style All Her Own") produced a wonderful small colt who seemed to want to stay small, in the 13 hand range. His outstanding feature physically is that he is what is known as a "tight cob", having a short back and exceptionally good topline and rear.  He has a very draught-style head that is slightly convex yet of good eye appeal, with that very kind eye and temperament famous in the horses of the Romany people.  He has excellent feather quality and hair overall, very low maintenance, with non-fading black color.  His face is topped off in winter with a stylish moustache.  But we love his gentle personality most!

Our farm name inspiring Bellbottom Truffles is a wonderful black "proper cob" from the lineage of the Old Black Horse, her sire being Royal --check out his video:  (WOW!)

(now at www.hopeofglorygypsyhorses.com/ in Michigan).  Royal also has an interesting link/page on Black Forest's list of sold horses, which shows him as a youngster. 

 

 Truffles is out of the beautiful mare"Cassie" (owned by Grace Ranch) AKA Penny, one of the nicest mares imported by Black Forest.  Cassie is pictured in her home field in Britain with Babydoll on Black Forest's website homepage (www.gypsyhorses.com/) and has a page also herself as "Penny" on Black Forest's list of mares sold.  Look for the "motorin" picture featuring her flying trot!  Completely suspended in air, quite amazing!  Cassie was also featured in the cover photo on John Lyon's Perfect Horse magazine in September 2008.  With parents like these, you know that Truffles has superior movement.

We would love to get to the point where we can display our ponies in hitch classes at draft shows, but have found that life is quite complicated sometimes!  Nevertheless,  Truffles is destined to prove what real "motoring" is, just as her mom has.
