We have an amazing opportunity for someone looking for a top-quality c**t! We are offering GG Kiss Me Legends aka Fate to the perfect home. Fate is a full brother to 56x Supreme Champion GG Kiss Me Kate, and to our knowledge is the only full sibling currently for sale.
Fate just turned a year and will only get better with time. He has one blue eye, is extremely flashy and is PSSM1 negative by parentage.
Fate’s sire is VV King William, who is the only stallion to have three foals inducted into the GVHS Hall of Fame. His dam, GG Velvet Doll, is sired by Latcho Drom out of Dolly, the first Gypsy Vanner Horse to step foot on American soil. William and Dolly are both sired by Breyer model stallion The Gypsy King, who was trained in dressage by two of the best dressage riders in the US – Pam Fowler Grace and Lynn Palm.
We cannot say enough about this outstanding c**t and are thrilled to offer him to the perfect home. Please contact Dennis at 352-817-1777 for more information!

Ok we know this isn't Gypsy Vanner specific, but how pretty are these snow shots from the Kentucky Horse Park? We may not be getting snow here in FL but we have been getting below freezing temperatures the last few days! Brr! At least the snow makes for some pretty pictures.

Please join us in wishing Dennis Thompson the happiest of birthdays!

"Raised in the picturesque farm country of Indiana, Dennis Thompson’s entire personal and professional life has involved loving animals and innovation of products for animals. It is, in fact, unlikely that you could walk into any pet or tack store in the world without seeing something conceived by Dennis Thompson.

Dennis took companies from “garage” beginnings to internationally recognized brands. Quik Silver Shampoo and Hamilton Halters are just two.

Dennis lived on a ranch in South Texas with his daughters when in 1988 his daughter Lisa, who worked at Lone Star Pet Supply in San Antonio called and said, “Dad, we just hired this new lady—she’s beautiful, she has 40 parrots and a Porsche—she’s perfect for you!”

Dennis met fellow pet product professional (and animal lover) Cindy Tergerson at a pet convention in Dallas. Married in 1990, two passions for animals became one with no one to say ‘no’! Dennis and Cindy’s love for animals was so profound that the Outdoor Life Network produced a national television program about their extraordinary relationship with them.

In 1995, on a business trip to Great Britain, Cindy noticed a little black and white stallion as they drove through the English countryside.

The rest, of course, is Gypsy Vanner history.

Dennis and Cindy had 14 wonderful years together before an accident took Cindy’s life in 2002.

Dennis and Cindy Thompson imported the first 16 Gypsy Vanner Horses to North America and are the founders of The Gypsy Vanner Horse Society. Their story of discovery is unique in the annals of equine history and was the journey of a lifetime for Dennis and Cindy.

Dennis has been a lucky man, who found not just one love of his life, but two! Erin Mahoney and Dennis met in 2011/2012 and soon became inseparable. Erin became a vital part of the farm, the Gypsy Vanners (and donkeys and parrots!) and the tours. She and Dennis tied the knot in 2020.

Dennis has continued on as an advocate and ambassador for both the Gypsy Vanner Horse breed and the Gypsy people and culture.

We often see posts with people asking what saddle is best to fit their Gypsy Vanner or other wide-bodied horse. We have encountered the same problem over many years and we believe these saddles are the answer!
Gypsy Gold has partnered with StageCoach West to produce these amazing western and endurance saddles, made specifically for the short back and the low withers of the Gypsy Vanner Horse and similar breeds. Many years of both designing products for horses and owning Gypsy Vanners has led to these!
Stagecoach West stands behind their products and they offer a ten day saddle trial period. We have had great client reviews about fit from 15hh horses to 12hh horses!
Please take a look at our options here! https://www.stagecoachwest.com/gypsy-gold.html We also have matching saddle pads, girths and bridles. Stokes Little Bruno is 12hh and shows how well this saddle even fits on a little guy!

is brought to you by the one and only BB King! He was the cutest newborn! And what a shock - both parents are tobiano and he was the very first solid of the Gypsy Vanner breed to be born in North America! This handsome foal will be 23 in a few months, and is still doing fabulous. BB is sired by The Gypsy King out of Shampoo Girl.

Here's a fun of Dennis and Dolly from around 2015. Dolly was the first Gypsy Vanner to set foot on American soil, and was the dam of the first Gypsy Vanner c**t born in America, Lash. Dolly was the queen bee of the pasture and she knew it!

***BW Etta Mae’s Tiny Alfred***
We are excited to offer this mini Vanner c**t! Alf stans 11.3hh just shy of his second birthday. Alf comes from truly tiny parents – sire Stokes Tiny Tim of MHB is 10.3hh and dam LBSS The Cabbage Patch Cob is 12hh. The gypsies in the UK have been breeding down for years and these littles are a hot commodity!
Alf has some truly tiny but perfectly correct horses on his sire’s side, including grandparents Little Tommy (11.3) and Little Rose of MHB (10.3hh). He also has some well known genetics in his pedigree, including The Checkerty Horse, The Christy Horse, The Old Horse of Wales, Lloyds and Superior.
Alf is two years old. He stands, he ties, he loads, he bows, he stays, he has learned to round pen, with & with out a lunge line, walk & slow trot only. He has a mustache clearly growing already, he has feather with an abundance of hair everywhere, he is super sweet & extremely intelligent.
He is PSSM1 negative and registered with the GVHS. He is sweet, willing, and smart, and has the temperament of a puppy. We expect big things from this little c**t!
If interested in Alf, please contact Dennis at 352-817-1777 for more information

We love this painting done by HH banks for The Loveheart Mare! What a great likeness of her and it captures her eye so well. We love the way these horses inspire photographers and artists everywhere!

Happy ! We love this photo of WR Rose Petal driving from several years ago. She is a daughter of The Gypsy King and WR Panda Rose. Petal was the first of this combination, and she was so nice it was repeated several more times. The most famous full sibling is probably multi-Grand Champion WR Maxwell, owned by Samantha Crook. Rose Petal is owned by Diamond D Ranch.
