Irish Tinker (An itinerant Gypsy) Horse (also known as Irish Cob, Pieball (in Ireland), or Gypsy Vanner (in USA)) is a breed with its origin among the traveling Gypsies of the British Isles.
A mix of draught horses and pony breeds give quite a large variation in size and appearance, but the typical Tinker measures 1,5 meter, and is white with large fl or brown colourings.
Other characteristics are the easygoingness and calmness of these horses, which have made them popular both for driving and riding.
