Mini Gypsy Horse
The International Gypsy Equine Association is the first and only Registry to recognize and provide separate Stud Books, specifically for the Mini Gypsy Horse.
IGEA considers the Mini Gypsy Horse to be a developing Breed.
Mini Gypsy Horse Breeders are utilizing the small equine genetics of other Breeds to decrease size, in a planned, transparent breeding program to eventually create, a truly Miniature size Mini Gypsy Horse of 38 inches and under in height. All genetics are recorded on the Registration Certificate of Mini Gypsy Horses and Mini Gypsy Blends (crossbreds). The IGEA
Mini Gypsy Horse Breed Development program requires at least 25% Gypsy Genetics for eligibility. This lower 25% Gypsy Genetic requirement ONLY applies to the Mini Gypsy Horse Breeding Program in its initial Pilot Stage, and is subject to changes in the future.
