On our visit to Appleby a few years ago, we spent time with Albert and Amy Coats,
where we first met this charming filly. We were blown away by her
gorgeous, round little body, huge bone and her incredible hair and feather. But the best part about her, is her absolutely fabulous, sweet temperament. I think everyone in our party, couldn't help but fall in love with this little girl.
She has strong Sabino and Splash markings, which in the world of the Gypsy Horses, is known as a Blue Blagdon.
Myst stands 13.3hh at four years old. Her pedigree contains some of the most illustrious names ever known in the breed. We think she will live up to the legend.
We already knew her sire Peter Pan, who just screams Gypsy Cob type.
And her Dam, the wonderful Willerby Mare, who has produced already, two
other fabulous fillies by Peter Pan - both commanding top money in at Appleby.
Myst is now maturing into a gorgeous chunk of a girl. She is superbly built, with a huge
apple bum, gorgeous head, lovely neck and shoulder and more hair and feather than
is even necessary. She absolutely screams Gypsy Cob type. We are really proud of this mare.
Thank you Albert and Amy Coates for bringing our attention to this superb mare and to Jen
at Desert Jewel Gypsies, for bringing her to the US.
UPDATE
Myst has now outdone herself and proven to be a wonderful producer, by foaling a truly fabulous, tiny little blue and white tobiano filly, on June 24st.2009.

FOR SALE
Willberby Myst is sadly offered for sale.
This was not an easy decision for us, since she is such a wonderful mare and super producer. However, since we no longer breed, we feel she should be in a home where she can be bred to top quality stallions. We believe also, that she is the only one in the US with this pedigree.
Myst has been known since she appeared at Appleby Fair as a baby, to have THE best temperament. In fact she has the best temperament of any horse (including Gypsies) that we have ever known or owned. She loves adult humans, children, and is used to other animals, including dogs, goats and chickens. Anyone can do anything with her. Those who saw her at Appleby, still speak of her today.
As you know, she sports incredible hair and feather. More than any other Gypsy we have ever owned. She is an incredibly easy foaler and a super mother. Her gorgeous filly of two years ago, is still at Desert Jewel. Jen's children will not part with her. Myst breeds on her incredible disposition to her offspring. Myst stands a about 14 hh and is a big-bodied, big-boned mare.
She has had 30 days pro training under saddle. She has been ridden English, Western and Aussie. She could go in any direction. Not cinchy. Takes a bit willingly. Obviously tries hard but certainly needs some miles put on her. I have been trailering her down to the riding school once a week, to ride her in company when my daughter takes her riding lessons.
Myst is NOT a get-up-and-go kind of a mare. She will be perfect for a younger nervous rider to grow with or for an older person who doesn't wish to do more than a walk or slow trot. She will produce beautiful babies and be a joy for anyone to own.
Asking $15,000 for this top-knotch, wonderful girl. You will not find better or sweeter. Some of you will remember her original cost as a baby and it was a whole lot more than our asking price. If you want a very quiet riding horse and one who will really produce for you, do consider this mare. You won't be sorry.
We are in no hurry to sell this mare. THE perfect home is a must.
PLEASE NOTE
If you are viewing this page on a wide screen monitor, all pictures might appear wider and the horses etc. will be stretched, and unfortunately look a lot longer in body than they are. Setting your screen resolution to 1280 x 720 pixels will probably correct the problem.

A NOTE REGARDING ALL GYPSY HORSE PEDIGREES.
As with all pedigrees of the past, most of what was known about the
background of a given horse, was by word of mouth from breeder to seller
and more often, passed down through members of the same family for generations.
Although we in our family, do a tremendous amount of research, as to the
background of our own horses and those of others in the breed, unless DNA
can be verified, our knowledge of the background of any horses imported
into this country, always comes to us from current breeders and old-timers
in the breed, with whom we have spoken personally.
While we try our very best, to give correct pedigrees, from time to time,
as our research continues, we sometimes have to change things.
As horses in the UK changed hands over the years, they were often given
different names, which makes it even more difficult for the pedigree researcher.
Mares were seldom named at all.
All pedigrees of horses on our site, are correct to the very best of our knowledge
at the time of writing. However, since many in the breed have passed on and DNA
is no longer available, we can only go by our current information.
As always, absolute pedigree confirmation, is a constant work in progress.
Our thanks to Albert Coates and Deirdre Cash, for the information contained in this pedigree.

Gypsy Horses are like potato chips -
you can't have just one!
