What To Expect

The Gypsy Gold Farm

our first forty five minutes is an educational journey conducted by Dennis Thompson, the discoverer and founder of the Gypsy Vanner Horse breed. 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.

I didn’t have time to visit this attraction when I was in the vicinity so I drove out of my way on my way home. It was a waste of gas. They have one very tired old “ Gypsy “ horse and a few other animals. The story he tells he makes up as he goes along. He has one picture that he holds up as a picture of four different horses. There are other horse attractions in the area that have to be more worth your time and money.

Dear Crystal, I try to be generous when responding to all reviews good and bad but yours sends a very distorted, view of what we do, and the experience one will receive, why would you do that ? . You show up late. then you sit with an angry look on your face and don't listen to the talking part of the tour. The old tired Vanner Horse you mention was in the barn being treated for an injury. He is the son of the most famous Vanner Horse in the breeds history ( in the story) he is the sire to the winningest Vanner Horse in the breeds history ( in the story) .......Gypsies are people (in the story) who need to be better understood (in the story) and then you leave before you meet approximately 100 other animals , 35 historically significant Vanner horses, two of the first mules in North America to give birth and much more. We work very hard to give people the unique experience most applaud us for. Of the 926 reviews on Trip Advisor 868 are five star 38 are four star so 906 and 7 like yours are two star. Please examine how you approach your experiences, you will enjoy them much more.

Breed history lecture, petting the horses, and watching the newborn baby and his Mother we're my favorites.

We really enjoyed Denise’s story about how he started Gypse Gold Farm. His story was both entertaining and informative. He was very inspiring and humorous. The girl that took us on the tour was great. She knew a lot about the farm and the horses. She even went out if her way to go get 3 horses from back in the pasture because they wouldn’t come to us. Job well done Denise and staff. We will definitely come back soon.

Thank you so very much for your kind review of what we do and especially for your words about Taylor, she is a 19 year old Animal Science major at The university of Florida who aspires to run a horse farm and we want to help her achieve her goals. We look forward to your return. Dennis -Erin-Taylor
