From Harlequin Farms Gypsy Horses
"The Traditional Gypsy Horse will have huge, flat bone. His body
must be comparitively short. He will have a thick neck and
a long shoulder, which should tie in well down his back.
He should have a wide and powerful chest. His hindquarters
should be round and large. He should sport a very thick mane
and tail. His feet should be covered with an enormously profuse
amount of long hair. This should start behind the knee or
hock and fall to the ground. It is known as Feather. Feather can
be noted as curly, woolly or straight and silky within the breed.
Many prefer straight, silky feather but it is not usually
demanded. What "is" demanded, is that there is profuse Feather
which covers the hoof."
