We are excited to offer a GVHS Evaluation on October 1st preceding the NEGHC Show in Schaghticoke, NY. There will be a clinic to provide information on the evaluations in the morning as well. Horses can be evaluated on conformation/movement, and/or performance. There are three disciplines, ridden under English saddle, ridden under western saddle, and driving. Horses can be entered into any combination of evaluations and tests, at any time, whether it be conformation and all performance tests, just performance tests, or any combination thereof.

The following information is from the GVHS website:

The Gypsy Vanner Horse Evaluation Program has been developed as an educational tool for the horse breeder, to promote thoughtful breeding of Gypsy Vanner Horses of the type as detailed in the breed standard, and for the public to educate them about the breed.   The program’s purpose is to help breeders and owners to educate themselves about the strengths and weaknesses of their horses so they can use this knowledge in making educated breeding and purchasing decisions.

This system should be viewed as an important tool to help preserve the wonderful characteristics of the Gypsy Vanner Horse.  The conformation-movement evaluation is also an integral part of the GVHS Registration process.    Horses lacking DNA verification of both sire and dam require a certain minimum conformation-movement evaluation score to move from the GVHS Pre-Studbook into the Regular Studbook.

• The Gypsy Vanner Horse Society offers a voluntary evaluation program as an educational tool for the horse owner and breeder to:

• Promote thoughtful breeding of Gypsy Vanner Horses of the type as detailed in the Breed Standard

• To educate about the breed.

• As an important part of the Gypsy Vanner Registration.

• Educate to identify strengths and weaknesses of an animal to make smart breeding and purchasing decisions

• A unique marketing tool

• Award levels,  versatility goals,  and hall of fame
