Horse breeds that have ankles like gypsies?

Question

So, I really love the mane of gypsy horses and especially their shaggy ankles(lawl, yeah, I'm weird), but I don't really like how short their average height is (I've seen non-crosses usually 14-15 hh or so).

What other breeds of horses are there that are similar to gypsies in terms of their ankles and mane, ect. ?

I know drafts can have the shaggy ankles...

Answer 1

ya, pretty much drafty horses, like clydesdales, shires, and friesians have them 2, but they rn't that drafty.

btw the "ankles"u were talkin bout r called feathers:):) not tryin 2 sound s****., just so if u wanna google it or somethin... ya.

Answer 2

Shire, Clysdale,  

Answer 3

there is this gypsy/shire cross that is actually a breed and they are very large i just forgot the name if the breed..but you might look for a cross if you want the color too

Answer 4

the "shaggy ankles" r called feathers and quite a few do Clydesdales, Frisians and shires r 2 common ones also i have heard of bigger sizes of gypsy horses 16- even up to 17 hh no lie my friend has as gypsy vainer who is 16.3 hh

PS i love gypsy horses too

Answer 5

Just about any heavy horse (draft breeds) have the feathering on their lower legs and the thick manes. There are also a few pony breeds that have the feathering and thick manes (but you wanted a taller breed).

I'll give you a list of some different draft breeds..

Abtenauer (rare)

American Cream Draft

Andravida (often crossed to create mules)

Ardennes (Ardennais)

Belgian

Boulonnais (rare)

Brabant

Breton

Clydesdale

Comotois

Dutch Heavy Draft

Estonian Draft

Friesian (sometimes Friesian crosses)

Italian Heavy Draft

Jutland

Lithuanian Heavy Draft

Nonius

Noriker

Percheron

Poitevin

Rhineland Heavy Draft

Russian Heavy Draft

Soviet Heavy Draft

Suffolk Punch

Trait du Nord

Vladmir Heavy Draft

Answer 6

Shire.  That's one of the main breeds used to make Gypsy Vanners, and that's where they get the pretty splashy coloring and furry feet.  They're also nice and tall.

Freisians also have shaggy ankles.

Answer 7

Clydesdale horses which are incredibly tall

Answer 8

Shire, Clysdale, Perchron, Belgian basically any large horse or draft. i know there is a breed that starts with and f but its got a weird spelling. you probally find it in a breed book and others.
