Reviews
"Gypsy Gold Horse Farm is a beautiful property with a quite interesting history. The owner, Dennis, told everyone about the beginnings of the Gypsy Vanner breed including a great historical overview of the gypsy families that he spent time with to learn more about their culture. Dennis is an excellent speaker who kept us engaged with lively and humorous stories of his own personal life in the equine industry including the colorful cast of characters he's met along the way. Afterwords he took us on a guided tour of the farm to meet his menagerie of interesting and beautiful animals. The two hours we spent at Gypsy Gold Horse Farm was an enlightening and thoroughly enjoyable experience."
"My husband and I visited Gypsy Gold Horse Farm last Saturday. This was, by far, the best visit of its type I have ever experienced. I knew about Gypsy Vanners thanks to a video some years ago and was enchanted by them. Dennis Thompson brings their history to the forefront and, additionally, presents a wonderful insight into the people who first developed the beginnings of this breed and who are, often, so misunderstood. Dennis presents history well and is incredibly personable and kind. When you leave, you feel you have a new friend. Whether you are just looking for a new and unusual highlight to a vacation, or are interested in becoming more involved at some level, Gypsy Gold is the place to go. We will be returning as often as we can. Dennis has some beautiful and wonderful plans for the future that are best described by him. Go. You will not regret it. You’ll get to meet, up close, some of the finest equine specimens on the planet. Take carrots!"
"Our first visit to Florida HAD to include a tour of Gypsy Gold. I have followed the breed since it was first introduced to the USA by the Thompson. Wonderful breed, love story, and gorgeous horse farm. Everybody at the farm was amazing as well. It was a great day!"
"Beautiful horses in a picturesque setting. Go for the lecture, you can tell Dennis has a passion for the breed. His presentation was informative and entertaining. Well worth the time to visit."
"What a great day at Gypsy Gold Horse Farm. was so informative about the history of this breed of horse and how he originally brought it to America. Seeing them up close was very nice, along with the young colts. Well worth the cost and time spent there."
