Our Irish Tinker

About the Irish Tinker horses

Formerly the Tinker horses were the working horses of the gypsies. Typical for those gypsie-horses was their pinto colour, because higher social classes temporarily preferred horses in only one colour. Tinker horses are robust and easy keeping horses and are characterised by their even temper, intelligence, curiosity and occasional stubbornness. Aggressive behaviour is not tolerated within the breeding lines of Tinker horses. Due to their heavily built body it is difficult for them to be ridden in collection and thus the Irish Cob is less able to be used for show jumping or high class dressage. As therapy horses or reliable draught horse however they are perfect. Endurance in walking or trotting over long distanceses makes them perfekt trail riding horses. Their spirited extensive steps and a surprisingly good canter and jumping ability makes them an eyecatcher. The breeding aim is to gain horses to be used in every discipline – an all-round horse for every purpose.
