The Liberator
The Liberator is a Gypsy Vanner Stallion in a Chocolate Silver Dapple Coloration. Many portraits of this horse have been made by other artists, and many improperly label the color as Dapple Grey Tobianos, but the real horse (Austin) is actually a Chocolate Silver Dapple. (DNA test results on the real horse: Black EE - Tobiano TO/to - Silver Z/z - Agouti aa). The horse's coloration shifts from nearly solid black in the summer, and then a drastic looking dapple in the winter. Neat! (Here's a video of the real horse in the Summer!)
The Liberator came all the way to our barn from Russia. He was painted and customized by Anna Zaharenkova of Russia.

Show History
At this time, we're unsure when he will make his show ring debut. Due to a recent move it is difficult to find the time and funds to travel the distances required to make showing a regular part of our hobby.
His show debut date has yet to be set.
