We are a 30 acre ranch located in the Irish Hills of Michigan...a perfect second home for our beloved Gypsy horses imported from Ireland. Our horses are registered in the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society and have the perfect look and temperament that the Romani folk have strived to achieve for many years.
We stumbled upon the Gypsy horse breed while doing an internet search for the perfect horse for my youngest...pictured above. After visiting breeding farms close to home and Kentucky to view large numbers of these beautiful animals just imported from England, we couldn't help falling in love with their docile, inquisitive, and adaptive nature. This is what we had been searching for in a breed for so long.
We imported our first two Gypsy horses from Ireland on 12/15/05...Clononeen Ciara (pronounced Kira) and her colt which we named Princely Inheritance. We have high hopes that Ciara will reproduce herself well and pass to her offspring beauty, intelligence, correct Gypsy Vanner conformation and above all her kind nature. Her first colt, "MNM's Princely Inheritance" (aka "Prince Harry"), possesses all those qualities and more. Her second colt MNM's Rocket's Red Glare (aka "Rocket") is absolutely a joy to be around. He is the sweetest little stallion prospect. He enjoys all the stallion behaviors but is so docile and easy going with all the family members.
Our second breeding mare Clononeen Fanore (aka "Nora") was imported from Ireland to the U.S. in October of 2006 and arrived to our farm in December 2006. She is a beautiful Piebald color (black and white) and stands 14hh however, due to her bone and muscle appears to be much taller and larger.
Nora foaled a beautiful piebald colt on 4/15/07 who we originally named d'Artagnan but that name was already taken. So he has been renamed "MNM's The Guardian". This colt is by the fabulous stallion Clononeen "The Hustler". This is Nora's first foal and she is doing very well with her new baby.
So come on ladies...now is the time to load up hubby and come visit with us and the exquisite gypsy horse...a breed that seems to lull the "skeptical husband" into horse ownership.
We are truly blessed to be able to Breed and offer for sale the Beautiful Gypsy Vanner...Every Child's Dream.
