Meet Pollyanne
Pollyanne was our very first Gypsy Vanner horse. She was imported from England in 2004. I will never forget how excited I was when I
knew she was on the plane and headed to the US.
She landed in New York City and spent the required three day quarantine
there. From New York she was transferred to Lexington Kentucky for her two week
quarantine. The morning she was to be
delivered to Lexington the transport rig in was in a horrific wreck. Several of the horses on the trailer with her
were killed and others injured. Polly
was not injured but the vets in Kentucky kept a very close watch on her as she
was in foal at the time. She came to
Arkansas after her quarantine and delivered a healthy colt that year. We were so fortunate that she came though
that without injuries. I have a feeling
people could have seen me smiling from a mile away as she stepped off that
trailer at our farm.
Polly is a big, heavy mare with a long thick mane and lots
of feather. She is calm, patient and loving. She has given us seven
wonderful foals, all by Prince Charming.
Our stallion, BlackJack, is a son of Polly and Prince. We are looking forward to the arrival of her
2016 foal in late February. She is in the barn and on the foaling cams each night.
Thank you so much for the background info on these beautiful ladies, it's so interesting to know who is related to who and how they came to be on your lovely farm.
