OUR PHILOSOPHY AND GUARANTEES

Purchasing a horse of any breed, whether it be one's first horse or another to add to an already established herd, can often unfortunately be a stressful experience. When we decided to make Gypsy Horses our breed of choice, we knew we had to make sure that none of our customers would ever have to go through some of the stresses associated with new horse ownership that we went through. Great horse ranches and great customer service are never an accident. They require absolute and total commitment with complete dedication by the ranch owners. FOALS AND YOUNG HORSESALL of our youngsters will be wormed, vaccinated, and completely vetted for soundness before leaving for your home. All foals receive considerable handling and will stand for grooming and ferrier, lead, tie and trailer. They will be up to date on all vaccinations according to age. If necessary, their feet will also have been trimmed before leaving our property. We have five of our own children, with our youngest born in 1996, who love to interact daily with our horses. We also have 8 dogs, so our young horses are all used to pretty much everything by the time they are weaned. OLDER AND MATURE HORSESOur professional ranch trainers work and exclusively train using gentle techniques rooted in Natural Horsemanship. This approach permanently instills the young and older horse alike with trust and confidence. Those are traits that make for ideal and lifelong companions. Many of our older and mature horses, which we offer for sale, are already trained to the cart or have had time under saddle. Some have both. As with our youngsters, our older horses will be wormed, vaccinated, and completely vetted for soundness before leaving for your home. They also will have all had considerable handling and will stand for grooming and ferrier, lead, tie and trailer. They will be up to date on all vaccinations according to age. If necessary, their feet will also have been trimmed before leaving our property. They will have been handled by grownups and children and become used to all our dogs. If for some reason we know of a particular quirk our horse has then you will be honestly told of it before purchase. You will be apprised of where an individual is in our herd regarding pecking order. This way, you will know how to introduce him or her to your own herd. STALLION SERVICEAll stallions stand with a live foal guarantee (LFG) with return the next year. A different mare owned or leased by contract may be substituted. Shipped semen may be split and used for multiple mares at no extra charge, but LFG will apply to only one mare. For live cover and boarding at the farm: $9 per day for the mare, $12 per day with foal. Box stall with paddock turn-out by day. Shipped semen is available for our stallions. Please contact us for details. These bloodlines are not often to be found today in the United States, so if you are a student of lineage, do consider our lovely boys. OUR GUARANTEESWe know our horses and want to be sure you purchase the right horse for you. Your happiness with our horses is VERY important to us. That's why we believe in total honesty upfront. You're free to visit as often as necessary for you to make the right choice. We are always available by telephone - day or night - should you have a question. We feel our responsibility does not end when the money changes hands. We want our customers happy and confident in their purchase and know that we will always be there for help and guidance, if necessary. Our customers deserve no less. Should you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email us or give us a call. Should you seek a particular horse which you don't find for sale on our pages here, let us know your needs and we will happily point you in the direction of honest and knowledgeable breeders.
