Gypsy Gold Horse Farm

Gypsy Gold Horse Farm Gypsy Gold Horse Farm The Gypsy Gold Farm is home to the first 16 registered horses of a breed that's now 5,000 animals strong.
(1217)

Our founders, the Thompsons, connected over a mutual love of animals, and thereafter discovered an unknown breed of horse, developed by British Gypsies, while traveling through the English countryside. After a four-year journey to understand these horses and the culture that created them, we took part in naming them: the Gypsy Vanner horse. Our 40 acre ranch is an educational and cultural oasis, w

here visitors to Central Florida learn about one of the most colorful and least understood societies on earth and the magical Vanner Horses they envisioned.

Rascal is an exceptional July 2024 Gypsy Vanner c**t with the pedigree, presence, and personality to stand out in any program.

He is a striking son of GG Latcho’s Mighty King and out of BRF Bella Mia, bringing together some of the most influential foundation bloodlines in the breed. On his sire’s side, Mighty King is by Latcho Drom and carries the legacy of The Lion King. On his dam’s side, Bella Mia traces to The Gypsy King, Cushti Bok, and The Lottery Horse. This powerful combination of proven genetics comes together beautifully in Rascal.

Beyond his pedigree, Rascal is a kind, people-oriented c**t with a sweet disposition and excellent manners for his age. He enjoys attention, is appropriately handled, and shows a level-headed, confident nature that makes him a pleasure to be around. He is PSSM1 negative by parentage and is expected to mature around 14.2 hands.

With his outstanding bloodlines, solid build, and willing temperament, Rascal has all the qualities to excel as a future herd sire. He also shows strong potential for success in the show ring and under saddle.

Rascal’s future is incredibly bright—don’t miss the opportunity to add this special young c**t to your program. Contact Dennis at 352-817-1777 for more details!

Yesterday we posted our two available stallions, Ziggy and Little Big Man, who trace back to Cushti Bok. So today we thought we would share the man himself!

In Dennis’ words —

The true story of Cushti Bok, the world’s first selectively bred horse raised by Gypsies to be recognized as a breed, seems surreal. We met him by chance, but it was pure passion that drove us to understand the vision and genetics that created him. On the long journey…

We became the first Americans to ever attend the oldest Gypsy Horse fair in the world, Appleby. Cushti Bok was—as the Gypsy predicted—better than any horse we saw there.

We traced his genetic history through three countries.

We found his DNA proven sire, The Old Horse of Wales, one of the breed’s greatest sires. We stood overlooking the Irish Sea with The Old Horse of Wales, and the Gypsy who raised Cushti Bok, as he pointed to a clearing under a tree and said, “He was born right over there; I will never forget the day he was born. I held him in my arms and knew he was special… he is the best c**t I ever raised.”

We uncovered the vision that created him and his breed—the vision to create the perfect caravan horse or Vanner was born soon after World War II.
We traced the breed’s genetic origins back to the two stallions that inspired it: Sonny Mays and The Coal Horse.

We named the unknown and unnamed breed the Gypsy Vanner Horse, with the approval and blessings of Gypsies.

We established the first breed registry in the world for a selectively bred horse raised by Gypsies: The Gypsy Vanner Horse Society. Cushti Bok is GV00001F (the ‘F’ is for foundation).

To this day, the best breed specimen I have ever seen was a daughter of Cushti Bok. The Gypsy who owned Cushti Bok was holding her back as a gift to his son.

“He’s a one off,” said the proud man with words and accent unique to his heritage.

He is indeed.

For our second post we are sharing MMV's Sharp Dressed Man aka Ziggy! We mentioned in the last post of that two of our currently standing stallions trace back to Cushti Bok - BPF Little Big Man is one and Ziggy is the other! Ziggy's maternal granddam Rose Petal is sired by Cushti Bok, making Ziggy his great-grandson.

Ziggy also traces to The Gypsy King, Latcho Drom, The White Horse, and The Lion King, all DNA confirmed!

Ziggy has sired a half-dozen or so foals and their quality definitely shows. His babies have bone, hair, great conformation and brains. We are excited to continue to watch his legacy unfold.

Ziggy is negative for PSSM1 and FIS and is GVHS registered and heterozygous tobiano. He is available to GVHS registered mares for the 2026-2027 breeding season.

Breeding season is well underway this year and we are loving the foal photos we are seeing from our clients from last year's breeding season! BPF Little Big Man is one of our available stallions for the 2026-2027 breeding season. Photo by the talented Nancy Mitchell.

All of our currently standing stallions trace back to Latcho Drom, but only two carry on Cushti Bok's legacy as well! Little Big Man is one of those two. His sire, WR Big Son of Bok, is the last son of Cushti Bok out of Champion driving mare and champion producing mare Jasmine. Little Big Man's dam VV Zanna is also a half-sister to VV King William! This stallion has matured into a fantastic example of the breed in every way and has already sired 15+ foals at the young age of seven.

Little Big Man is PSSM1 negative and GVHS registered, as are all of our stallions. He stands 15hh and is available to GVHS registered mares. Please contact Dennis for details at 352-817-1777.
