BoHo’s Cold Fusion, AKA Lexington “Lex”
“Lexington” as he is fondly called, was imported in utero we believe from SD Farms by Black Forest Shires and Gypsy Horses, in 2006 and born while mom Lexus gypsy mare was in KY quarantine. Lexus is now owned by R-Gypsies in California, earning the honor of being their lead hitch mare, and registered with GHRA as “A Style All Her Own”

Lexington earned a beloved spot here at Bellbottom Farm as our foundation stallion in our gypsy pony endeavors. We feel he brings valuable traits to the table and shares them well, including generous feather, non-fading black color, and tight cob type with level topline and short back. We actually think of him as a miniature shire and he has the best of temperaments, responsive learner and listener. With bigger mares he is able to throw standard size babies; with our little ones some have stayed quite small. His 3/4 bred 12 hand son that remains at Bellbottom Farm is turning into seemingly his clone, right down to the big fuzzy mustache! Some favorite photos:

In November, 2011 Lex made his way to a new owner in Florida. We hope to continue sharing his great adventures and contributions to the future of gypsy horses in USA.
Luewin shared a video from his first day in Florida:
Well, we have received reports from Lex’s owner in Florida at their show over the weekend, January 21-22, 2012:
Lex was the reserve performance gypsy of the weekend! He won the showmanship, obstacles in hand, western equitation open and amateur, amateur western pleasure walk trot and was second in open walk trot western pleasure and second in the trail walk trot. What a great start to their show career! Congratulations to Luewin and Lex! See them in action with some of their youtube video clips below:
What is the size of Lex? My gypsy-horse is only 13.4H and this horse also looks small
Lex is a very nifty 13 hand tall size gypsy. Thanks for asking!
