Above photos were taken in Northern UK.  These horses are a Gypsy breed, know in America as Gypsy Vanner horses.  They are very dossel and friendly.  They will talk up to you and you can pet them or about anything.  They have a long mane, tail and have feathers (long hair) on their feet.  You will see as you go along.  A beech tree fell on one of the farms and it was being cut for firewood.  Also above is a photo of a Gypsy wagon that is being restored.  They actually raised their families in those wagons.  Their horses were very important to their survival.  They still live in London but no longer in wagons.  They have homes and jobs.

This is a real nice lady in Willowby.  Her husband was the one showing us the horses.  She was under the weather a bit and I hope I cheered her up a little.  Her name is Stephanie.

 

We went to this field and blew the horn and the horses stampeded toward us.  When they arrive they just stopped and visited with us.  The car we were driving had road salt on it and the horses are licking it off.

This is Oliver.  He is their prized stallion.  Note the mustache he has. 

This is a trailer in London that is almost the same as we have in AZ.  The second photo is the finish of the siding.

This is another stallion they had.

Above the horses are have a treat.  Carrots and turnips are the food for the day.
