Gypsy horse owners will tell you the same thing: few breeds can boast such a winning combination of qualities as Gypsy horses do. If you are new to the breed, you will quickly discover that Gypsy horses are extremely intelligent and learn quickly. Besides being easy to train, they are exceedingly handsome animals. They have wonderful personalities. And they love being around people! Best of all, these high-quality Gypsy horses are very affordable. We breed our stock of Gypsy horses using our own broodmares, with stallions that have established Gypsy bloodlines, to produce beautiful fillies & colts — which are for sale.

Gypsy horses manageability is a big part of what makes them stand out from other breeds, and their docile temperament makes them a great choice for riders of all different ages and abilities.

Two distinctive characteristic of the breed are their long, flowing manes and tails, and the lovely feathering of hair that completely covers their hooves. The general conformation of Gypsy horses reflects their versatility across a variety of disciplines. They are very flexible and will excel at most equestrian sports and activities. If you have ever seen them at a horse show, then you know that the movement of these animals is a delight to watch.
