Blarney Stone Acres Etta represented Blarney Stone Acres Gypsy Cobs at a show on Long Island, April 16, 2011, at the Thomas School of Horsemanship. They showed in Beginner Equitation and also Advanced Beginner Walk Trot. Rider Taylor commented, "Etta is so kind, gentle, and such a loving pony."
Etta is trained by Sonny Garguilo and Stacy Zachariadis. The Gypsy Cob is a wonderful mount for kids!

Diana was the 2009 Training Level All-Breed Champion in dressage. She spent the winter of 2009/2010 in Wellington, Florida reprsenting the Gypsy breed. She showed Hunter/Jumpers in Canada during the summer of 2010, and finished off the year at the 2010 Alltech FEI World Equestrian Games reprsenting the Gypsy horse in Hunter/Jumpers.

We spent Memorial Day weekend 2010 with our horses at the North East Equine Expo held at Belmont Park. We enjoyed lots of Sunshine and a great response to our Blarney Stone Acres Gypsy Cobs including a feature on the TV show Talkin' Horses. BSA brought three horses ages 1-3 and they all showed like much older show veterans. Nothing bothered them and we think the cobs had as much fun as the guests of Belmont Park. Our three-year-old BSA Tracey, aka "Spencer", did the trail classes. Of course nothing spooked him as he easily cantered over poles and walked through some scary streamers and intricate obstacles.
Our one-year-old was used in a clinic by Sonny Garguilo and easliy came into "join-up" wih Sonny, while also getting some much needed exercise. Our two-year-old also joined up and in 45 minutes was easily saddled and carrying a rider! With our cobs' temperaments Sonny's job was easy this weekend. Sonny is a fabulous clinician as well as a great supporter of the gypsy!
