Our extensive research into the Gypsy Vanner breed lead us to
the selection of 2 very fine quality mares for our breeding program:
Clononeen Chriona, imported
from Ireland in 2005, and Mrs.
Montivea, imported from England in 2006. We feel that our
two mares are wonderful examples of the original vision for the
breed.
We originally
considered owning a Gypsy stallion to stand at stud, but made
a personal choice not to, because we feel that there
are already many fine Gypsy stallions in the US that are very
worthy to pass on their exceptional qualities. Rather, we decided
to dedicate all of our efforts to raising and selling
2 exceptional foals per year. In this regard, we select for breeding
only those stallions that meet the original vision of the Gypsy
breeders, and who we feel will complement and add to the qualities
contributed by our mares.
When you
purchase a foal from us you can be sure that the foal has been
handled on a daily basis; is comfortable with wearing a halter,
being tied and lead; has had his or her feet picked up on a regular
basis; has been bathed and clipped; and is comfortable being trailered.
Our foals are also exposed to many distractions including tractors,
donkeys and of course our 9 dogs! We treat them as members of
our family, and only sell to approved homes that will care for
them in the manner that they have become accustomed :-)
