💙 A Very Difficult Decision 💙
This is probably one of the hardest posts I’ve ever had to write.
Due to some unexpected life changes, I’ve made the difficult decision to offer my Gypsy Vanners to the right homes. These horses are family, and my goal isn’t simply to sell them—it’s to find people who will love and cherish them as much as I have.
Before listing them on HorseBay, I wanted to offer them privately to the Gypsy community first.

❤️ Why This Herd Is Special
This isn’t just a group of horses—it’s a thoughtfully assembled breeding program.
✔ 2 Imported SD mares
✔ 1 Imported Hermits Farm stallion
✔ 1 mare from imported SD bloodlines
✔ 2 exceptional 2026 c**ts at their dams’ sides
✔ 1 confirmed 2027 pregnancy
✔ Opportunity to breed both mares back to Kodiak
Three of these horses have direct imported genetics from some of the most respected Gypsy Vanner programs, making this a rare opportunity for anyone looking to start or elevate a breeding program.
🏇 Training & Temperament
All four horses have been in professional training every week for the past year and have all been started under saddle.
Their trainer recently described them as:
* Solid walk and trot
* Lunging both directions on and off the line
* Excellent with saddling, bridling, mounting, and desensitization
* Kodiak has begun canter work and continues to progress beautifully for his age
They truly are as kind as they come.
✅ Clip
✅ Bathe
✅ Load
✅ Stand quietly for the farrier
✅ Lead respectfully
✅ Excellent ground manners
These are the type of Gypsies that are enjoyable for both experienced horsemen and families alike.

These are quality Gypsy Vanners with exceptional bloodlines, proven temperaments, and bright futures. They are not inexpensive, and I’m in no rush to sell. My priority is finding the right homes where they’ll be loved and appreciated.
Whether you’re looking for a foundation breeding program, a future herd sire, outstanding broodmares, or incredible family horses, this is an opportunity that doesn’t come around often.
If you’re seriously interested, please send me a private message. I’m happy to provide additional photos, videos, pedigrees, genetic testing, training updates, and pricing.
❤️ Sometimes the hardest part of loving horses is knowing when it’s time to let someone else continue their story.
