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.

Anyone who wishes to have an excellent, informative and fun experience with horses should attend! Dennis Thompson, founder of Gypsy Gold Farm and first person to ever bring the amazing Gypsy Vanner breed to the United States, is a wealth of knowledge and history! I have been a number of times and enjoy myself immensely every time! I could listen to Dennis for hours with his extensive experiences and passion in all he does! They also have beautiful, one of a kind, tack available specific to the Gypsy Vanner! I will continue to share this experience with others and thoroughly enjoy inviting them to experience the farm tour for themselves!

What an awesome review Valerie, thank you so much. It seems that animal people have a kinship with passion and an extra dose of empathy. It must be why Gypsy Gold feels like your home away from home, we hope that never ends. Thanks Valerie, Dennis and Erin

Learned a lot about a breed of horse that we had never heard of from the person, Dennis who brought the first horse over from the UK. Entertaining and welcoming host. The horses are beautiful and very docile. They enjoyed the human interaction. The setting is tranquil. It was 2 hours very well spent. Dennis has plans for expanding things like having a wine and cheese pavilion and interactive things for the kids and more. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone.

Thanks E9483KAsp, we call them Golden Retrievers with hooves. The Vanner is the most people oriented horse breed I personally have ever known and they have a flee factor that seems less than other horses. That means they dont scare as easy and get over it faster. About two weeks ago a Vanner gelding sold for $112,000 . The horse was incredible, you could side pass a horse over the top of it as it was laying down and even shoot a gun while you did it . The Vanner continued to eat grass throughout the ordeal. Thats crazy calm ! Thats $112,000 calm. Cheers, Dennis and Erin
