BREYER MODEL COLLECTIBLE HORSE "KUCHI GYPSY VANNER"
Kuchi, a piebald mare occupies a special place in history as the first Gypsy Vanner born in America.
The name Gypsy Vanner is a perfect fit. It refers to a horse selectively bred by the Gypsies of Great Britain and Ireland, and the word Vanner is defined as " a horse suitable to pull a caraven." the ideal Vanner resembles a small Shire, with more feather (leg hair), a "sweeter" head (more refined) and more color, although the breed is based primarily on its sturdy conformation over color. The breed belongs to the world's first registry for selectively bred horses, The Gypsy Vanner Horse Society.
Kuchi was foaled March 18, 1999 and is the only offspring of the famous mare Bat. ( Bat and Dolly were the first two Vanners imported to North America.) Kuchi's sire, The Gypsy King, was the second stallion ever imported to America and was also immortalized as a Breyer model.
Kuchi is the name of a Gypsy tribe famous for their appreciation of color, things that are structurally correct and the dance , The Hoochi Kuchi. Kuchi is colorful , structurally correct and like her famous father, she often dances when she walks: Kuchi was indeed the perfect name.
Since Bat is now deceased, Kuchi remains one of the closest sources of her mother's and grandfather's blue ribbon bloodline. She has represented it well, as a grand champion halter horse as well as winning performance classes in dressage, driving and all breed competitions. Kuchi makes celebrity appearances and her beautiful image can be seen in books and calendars.
