Description
And the winner is... [link] by ~ShiaWolf ! Congratulations!
Thank you so much to everyone who participated. Shady feels the love!


This is the second of two horses I'll be offering "for sale" this week! I don't really like Gypsy horses in general (don't get me wrong; I think they're beautiful, but they're too small for me, and their lineage is often iffy at best), but he's Bullet 's sire, so here he is! To buy Shady, you must have an active roleplaying stable (HARPG preferred). His price is one image of him to the best of your abilities, either alone, with a handler/rider, or with other horses. (I don't like point sales, sorry!) On the 25th (next Wednesday) I'll choose what I think is the best bidding image, and he'll be officially transferred over to the winner's stable. Nothing about him is to be changed except his barn name and birthday (if your stable doesn't do aging in real time, you can make him whatever age you please as long as he's at least 10 years old). His disciplines are up to you! Note that if he's sold to someone who doesn't keep him reasonably active, I retain the right to take him back.

Please comment with a link to your bids!


The Horror Of The Shade
Breed: Gypsy Horse
Immediate Pedigree: Hermit's Lonely Ghost x Coates Shady Lady
Barn Name: Shady
Birthdate: 6 January 2000
Gender: Stallion
Eyes: Very Dark Brown
Phenotype: Bay Dun Leopard Appaloosa
Genotype: EE/nAA/Dd/nLp/nPATN1/nPATN2
Height: 15.0hh
Build: As with all Gypsies, Shady is small and as compact as they come. He's short-backed and thick-boned, with hair everywhere (whoever gets tasked with clipping him for the winter usually gets lots of sympathetic gift baskets). He's got a short back and fairly well-built shoulders and haunches, though his shoulder could be better. Fortunately, we lucked out: he's basically a very small, very hairy draft horse!
Temperament: Shady may have a scary name, but he's really just about the sweetest thing on four legs. He seems like he's half asleep most of the time, to be honest; unless a mare's making a conscious effort to seduce him he tends to act like a gelding. We're confident putting children and beginners on him. He has the drive and the skill in harness to be competitive, too, which is convenient for his progeny's reputations.
Offspring:
  • The Silver Bullet (Georgian Grande), out of Sultan's Silver Doll (American Saddlebred)

    I might try for this lovely, he would actually fit into things.... colorful, and I know it's rare, but gypsies can jump fairly well, if not in low-eventing then in hunters....

    Haha thanks so much! -whistles and pokes you in their directions-
    Gypsies come in almost every color, I think -- appaloosa for sure, and there are even a few duns! This guy's dam is a grulla mare owned by a breeder in the UK, and she's had several grulla babies for them apparently. The one thing I haven't seen in gypsies is champagne, but I've heard rumors that it exists.

    Ikr? I've never actually seen a Gypsy outside of photographs, but it does seem that blacks are the most common, with some kind of pinto gene.

    Gypsies are rather popular here, I have seen so many in hunter under saddle and hack shows. My favorites have always been the classic b&w though, they are jus incredibly gorgeous!
