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.

What a fun, wholesome educational adventure! I went on the tour after finding it on TripAdvisor. The first half is a sitting event where Dennis, the owner tells the history of the Gypsy Vanner breed. (He was the first to bring these horses to America) Peppered with stories of his amazing life and discovery of the breed is mesmerizing. You will learn about the gypsy life in Great Britton and this glorious horse that pulled their caravan wagons. After the talk, Dennis’ ranch helper, Taylor (?name correct) walks with us through the paddocks and we watched adorable foals, mares and stallions show how beautiful this breed is. Dennis calls them “Golden retrievers with hooves”, a nod to their gentle behavior. If you are even a tiny bit “horsey” or just curious, this is a fun two hours to spend at a lovely horse farm tucked into rural Ocala

Was overjoyed to see 5 foals born this year ranging from 2-5 months. Always enjoy Dennis' story behind the Gypsy Vanner horses and their journey to America. Brought some friends along for their first visit and they can't stop raving about it.

Enjoyed learning the history of the Gypsy Vanner breed and being able to interact with about 20 of these gentle horses, including young colts too. The donkeys, mules, goats, exotic birds and chickens added to the farm life experience. The narrative was interesting and we enjoyed Dennis’s sense of humor. Would return again!
