                “Maverick”

Maverick has grown to be an exceptional horse. His conformation is consistent with the breed standard, and he reminds us of his maternal grandsire, The Hustler. The Hustler was one of our 2 original herd sires. Maverick even does the signature “Hustler Head Toss”. I have also always appreciated his “sweet head”, a characteristic not well understood, or found, in the US herd, but part of the original Gyspy Vanner Breed Standard.

Due to his exceptional balance and conformation, as a riding horse he is tons of fun. He is full of energy and amazingly handy. Maverick has even been asked to cut cows, with some success. He has the characteristics Kate has been working for years to breed into our program and more.

We expect Maverick to have a wonderful career as a herd sire. Unfortunately, he was in training during the 2025 breeding season, so has sired a limited number of foals to date. The ones he has sired seem to share his special athletic ability.
