The Gypsy Horse “Heart & Heritage” TourHoofbeats & Paw Prints MediaKICKIN Back Fields Farm
Dear Gypsy Horse Friends, Breeders, and Supporters,
I’m reaching out to share something very close to my heart — a storytelling journey I’m calling The Gypsy Horse “Heart & Heritage” Tour.
This project is inspired by a deep respect for the history, beauty, and emotional connection so many of us feel with these remarkable horses. Through this tour, I hope to visit Gypsy horse farms across North America, England, and Ireland to respectfully document their stories, traditions, breeding programs, and the powerful human-horse relationships that exist within this community.
Alongside farm visits and interviews, I am creating a companion Heart & Heritage Journal and documentary series to share these experiences, preserve heritage, and celebrate the ways Gypsy horses continue to bring connection, comfort, and inspiration to people’s lives.
A meaningful part of this project is its focus on mental health and emotional wellness. Horses have an incredible ability to help people feel grounded, accepted, and supported — something I’ve personally witnessed on our own farm. This initiative is intended to shine a light on that healing connection and encourage conversations around wellbeing, community, and hope.
For as little as $40, you can support this journey and receive a copy of the Heart & Heritage Journal — becoming part of the story while helping make the tour possible.
At this stage, I am inviting:
Participating Farms & Breeders• Farms interested in being visited, interviewed, or featured• Opportunities to share your horses, programs, and stories• Participation in virtual barn chats or community conversations
Financial Supporters & Sponsors• Individuals, farms, or businesses wishing to help make the tour possible• Sponsors for the journal, documentary, or storytelling initiative• Supporters who believe in preserving heritage while promoting wellness
This project is truly about connection — between horses, people, heritage, and healing.
If you feel drawn to participate, collaborate, or support this journey in any way, I would love to hear from you.
Together, we can celebrate these incredible horses while helping heal hearts — one hoofbeat and paw print at a time.
Warmly,
Michele DuivenvoordenHoofbeats & Paw Prints MediaKICKIN Back Fields Farm
