Another horse group I encountered at the Fiesta Bowl Parade staging area was a group called the Desert Jewel Gypsy Horses. I was told the breed is called Gypsy Vanner and it originates from the U.K. and Ireland.
The horse is distinguished by it's heavy build and abundant feathering on the lower legs. I think they are quite beautiful.

Definitely gorgeous. I am a stranger to this breed. I'll bet they take a lot of grooming.
oh, yes, they are gorgeous.
Beautiful looking animals, love the black and whote markings on the top horse. They look in perfect condition Sharon.
Quite beautiful indeed!
I had never heard of this breed. They are distinctive and attractive.
They certainly are all decked out!
They are indeed gorgeous. Look a bit like smaller versions of the Budweiser horses. I wonder if they'd let you ride one if you asked...
Beautiful! I think horses are amazing creatures.
Oh, I think they are too!
Those are beautiful horses!
They are really beautiful.
They are lovely!
What a pretty breed. I haven't heard of them before. They remind me of Clydesdales.
In the UK we call these "heavy horses". At one time they were used much for pulling brewery drays.
I never heard of these before, they are beautiful!
What beautiful horses and all decked out in their parade gear too! I love these pictures!
Gorgeous.
They look like a small version of a draft horse, and yes, they are beautiful... I wouldn't want to comb out all that hair though!
Wow, what a pair of beauties!
such pretty hair but so much work to comb it all the time to keep it from getting matted. very majestic looking horse
They are certainly different looking horses, very noble looking!
One of my favorite breeds, although I have never owned one. They always seem so quiet, and they are always so, so beautiful!
