Highlights

Step into a hidden chapter of Florida’s equine legacy at Gypsy Gold Horse Farm, where America’s first Gypsy Vanner Horses prance beneath ancient oaks draped in Spanish moss. This tour unveils the unexpected history of a rare breed, born from the vibrant British Gypsy culture, and brought to life in the U.S. by founders Dennis and Cindy Thompson. Wander to the stables, meet dozens of these magical horses—known for their flowing manes and feathered hooves—and feel the romance of a story hailed as one of the most captivating in horse history. It’s not just a visit; it’s a journey into a niche world of beauty and tradition.

Then, stroll the 40-acre farm, petting stallions, mares, and foals who love a carrot or two. Bring comfy shoes, a camera, and a heart for wonder.
