Meet “Jasper” – Flashy, Versatile, and Well-Trained Gypsy Vanner Cross Gelding
Jasper is a 4-year-old Gypsy Vanner Spotted Draft Cross gelding who turns heads everywhere he goes. Standing a solid 16 hands, he is as stout and strong as he is eye-catching, with fancy movement and flashy markings that make him truly stand out in any setting.
Broke to both ride and drive, Jasper is an exceptionally versatile young horse with a wide range of experience. He has been hitched single and double, pulling everything from hay wagons and pumpkin patch wagons to farm machinery, carts, and carriages. He’s even been a crowd favorite in holiday parades, confidently handling heavy traffic, loud noises, and bustling environments without issue.
Under saddle, Jasper is just as impressive. He lopes balanced circles, catches his leads, stops easily, and backs willingly. On the trails, he’s steady, dependable, and sure-footed, carefully navigating rocky paths, steep terrain, and rugged trails with confidence and patience. No matter where you point him, Jasper goes willingly and safely, making him an outstanding trail companion.
For novice riders, Jasper has even been shown in lead line classes, proving his quiet, tolerant nature. On the ground, he’s a true sweetheart—a “love bug” who adores attention and thrives on human interaction. He stands tied, bathes, loads, and hauls like a seasoned pro, and he’s always well-mannered in the barn or at events.
With his unique combination of beauty, strength, and training, Jasper is the total package: a flashy, reliable gelding who can work, show, or trail ride, all while being a safe and affectionate partner. Whether you’re looking for a versatile family horse, a parade and driving standout, or a trustworthy trail mount, Jasper is the kind of horse that only comes around once in a while.
