VERSATILITY MEDALLION OF HONOR

Versatility is a very important attribute of the Gypsy Vanner Horse. Because of this it is encouraged that Gypsy Vanners be trained in a variety of disciplines. The ultimate horse has good conformation, movement, and is a willing Gypsy Vanner Horse Society, 2014 partner in multiple riding disciplines and driving. Tests can be taken over a period of time as training and skill level develop. When a horse has received a Gold Medallion of Quality in all three performance tests, that horse will be presented with the Versatility Medallion of Honor.
