What To Expect

The Gypsy Gold Farm

Dennis and Erin will then introduce you to a Gypsy Vanner stallion and explain the envisioned look and details unique to the Vanner breed. Your second hour is a walk among horse filled paddocks lined with ancient oaks laden with the romantic Spanish moss of the south. On your walk you will meet beautiful stallions and mares and friendly Gypsy Vanner Horse babies. Your Gypsy Gold Farm Tour ends with a picture opportunity with an incredible Gypsy Vanner Horse stallion and a visit to the Gypsy Gold gift shop.

We had a large group (19) of people interested in traveling to Ocala from a nearby Florida city to see Gypsy Gold Horse Farm. Due to the number in attendance, we were able to arrange for a private tour for our group. This was my 2nd time here, and I made the tour arrangements for our group. Erin was fabulous to work with -- good communications, details handled, etc. We talked multiple times on the telephone to finalize details. Everyone carpooled to Gypsy Gold, and there was enough parking for all plus more. Our tour started off with Dennis giving the history of these breathtakingly beautiful horses, and how he and his now deceased wife came to learn about the Vanner horses and their pursuit of their goal of bringing them from Europe to the US. Dennis is a wonderful and really interesting speaker. He is entertaining, funny, witty and so very knowledgeable about so many things. He is very open about sharing the joys and the tragedies along the journey of getting the Gypsy Gold Farm to where it is today. He is the person you want to invite to your next dinner party and then just sit and listen to. Dennis talked about an hour to our group and then we were able to accompany him as we all strolled the grounds of the farm while he continued to explain the background and histories of the horses, donkeys and mules that we were able to see. Our group had brought carrots with them, and I will say that being able to feed and pet the horses, donkeys and mules was a true highlight. Hint - baby carrots are easier to handle. This is a working farm and there were several friendly volunteers there helping with the many things that have to be done on a working farm. This is really a not-to-be-missed treasure in Ocala. You won't be disappointed. It was truly worth the price of admission. Go!!!!!

Gypsy Gold Horse tour was great! Dennis is a great storyteller & very knowledgeable. I learned a lot about Gypsy Vanner Horses, along with being a Gyspy. It was enjoyable walking around & being up close to horses, donkeys & mules. Thanks for sharing your life, stories & wonderful farm with us, the Polo Cheerleaders. It made our day.
