Our two young Gypsy Vanner geldings, Rip and Remi recently got the opportunity to prove themselves on a couples hunting trip, and they absolutely rose to the occasion.
These boys handled the trail, the terrain, the miles, and the unexpected with calm confidence. They were willing, sensible, and dependable from start to finish — and we couldn’t be prouder of them.
This is exactly what we love about the Gypsy Vanner breed. Yes, they are strikingly beautiful horses, but underneath all that feather and presence is a horse with a tremendous work ethic, a willing mind, and the versatility to do far more than simply look pretty in a pasture or show ring.
Our goal is to produce and develop horses that can truly be partners — horses you can trust to take you down the trail, into the mountains, around the ranch, into the arena, and on whatever adventure comes next. Two young geldings. One unforgettable adventure. And a whole lot of reasons to be proud. 🐴🏹🤎
And then there’s the husband part. 😉 Being married to your best friend means you get to share the crazy adventures, the quiet moments, the hard work, and all the little memories in between.
I’d choose this life — and this man — all over again. Every single time.
