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.

The initial hour long verbal history by Dennis took and hour and 15 minutes. Way too long. His visual aides were black and white pictures that he held up and you couldn't really see very well. Some were so old and worn that there was a cross in the middle of the picture (from being folded) where the light shown through. He would do well to have a professional interview him and edit to a film with beautiful color photos of the horses. What I remember most about this long "talk" was about Dennis and his inventions more than about the breed. The most enjoyable thing was feeding the horses the apples and carrots that we brought. We were there on a Monday so maybe everyone was tired from the weekend. A young girl took us on a tour of the farm. She seemed very knowledgeable but some type of microphone would have helped everyone hear her better. Sadly, all in all the experience was a big disappointment.

I now set an alarm so we don't go over the time intended. When you visit Gypsy Gold you are visiting a real horse farm with one of the most unique stories in the annals of equine history. As you suggest, the story has already been recorded and in time you will sit around campfires and listen to it on a commercial audio video system. The tour will be much slicker then and some will love it and some will not. For as long as you live, you will never again hear a story of the discovery of a breed from the person who actually did it. We are disappointed that you were disappointed, so we hope you will try again once the experience is more commercial. Thanks Dennis

The horse farm was very well maintained and horses are gorgeous. We went because of all the great reviews but experienced something different. The event consisted of a 75 min sit-down history of Gypsy horses followed by 30 minutes walking the farm. We were looking for more interaction with the horses and a guided tour but not expecting such a long sit-down overview. The price is way too high for the lack of interaction with the horses.
