Owner, Dennis Thompson, has the gift of exceptional storytelling! With a good dose of humor balanced with heart touching stories, I found myself in tears a time or two, along with many laughs that made the hour history part of the tour fly by.
His deep love and passion not only for the Gypsy Vanner Horses but educating others about the Gypsy culture to set the record straight of these big-hearted people is remarkable and truly admirable.
Being a fellow animal lover & advocate, I was deeply touched by his future dreams for his farm to be an educational center. In part, to continue to also share his love of donkeys and bring back to the forefront what we so need in this world and that we do our part in coming back to Compassion, Empathy, Patience, and Kindness – just to name a few human virtues – of which the donkeys so beautifully exude.
Being able to hug a mini donkey and spend some time with her baby, Wisdom, was the highlight of the tour for me and will remain in my heart as one of my fondest memories.
Thank you, Dennis, and all those of Gypsy Gold Horse Farm who continue to bring awareness to the exquisite and touching animal-human bond, and how together, this love can change the world.
