Bella's Page
Bella is a Gyspy Mare she was known as Victory from Black Forest Shires and Gypsy horses. I now call her Bella for her beauty. I have really enjoyed my experiences with this wonderful horse.
The first week I owned her I tied her to the back of my farm truck. This is a small S10 pickup. She proceeded to get her rope rapped around her back foot. She never paniced. I walked to her and rubbed her neck...trying to get the rope loose. This wonderful horse laid down behind my truck for me to get the rope off. I unhooked the rope and she stood back up....waiting for us to proceed with what we had started to do. This is the temperment of this wonderful breed.
I can not say enough about how wonderfully forgiving they are for your mistakes. This is the most docile breed of horse I have ever owned.
You can see from the picture Bella has more feather than most Stallions. She is quit a beauty.
Bella has started training under saddle with Meg Eades. Belle is making great progress and is learning many new things.
Bella has quit a presence and stands out in a crowd. This beautiful horse has really stolen my heart. I am thankful to Jeff and Chris Bartko at Black Forest Shires and Gypsy Horses from bringing her to the US for me to enjoy.
This is a picture of me taking my turn at ridding. Bella is being trained with only a bittless bridle. She has mostly been ridden bare back. I look forward to many years with this wonderful horse. She and I continue to become closer and she trusts more with each of our training sessons.
This is Bella with her first foal. The foal was born on June 22, 2005. I did not breed her back last year due to her training. She is now 4 years old and I will be breeding her back soon.
She had a Black filly for her first foal. The baby was big, strong, and healthy. I was so proud of Bella. She is a great mother.
Be sure and stop by my Gyspy Horse Photo pages to see more photos of Bella.
