Kelsey Riding at the Sussex Fair

My 10-year-old daughter is here shown riding a 2-year-old mare named Fiona, just under saddle, at the August 2003 Sussex County Farm & Horse Show in New Jersey (click on the thumbnail for larger images). The Gypsy Vanner horses did a fine job, despite all the new stimuli — which says a lot about the temperament of the breed. We received a fantastic response from the people, who were drawn to our Gypsy Vanner horses on the fairground precisely because of their calmness and beauty.

We were able to show a number of our Gypsy Vanner horses at the 2003 Sussex County Farm & Horse Show/New Jersey State Fair, which was held Friday, August 1 to Sunday, August 10, at the Sussex County Fairgrounds in Augusta, New Jersey.
