How I Got Started.
I first rode a horse when I was a child, but didn't take up
the sport seriously until I was 37 years of age. I tried many
different breeds, and enjoyed it — up to a point. I can't tell you
how many times I have been bitten and kicked. I've even been thrown
by horses repeatedly, and once I cracked two ribs in a hard fall.
These were painful experiences, and the idea of putting my young
daughter on one of these large beasts and teaching her to ride made
me quite nervous. I was just about ready to give up on the
sport...until I received my first Gypsy horse as a gift from my
husband. After that, I was hooked. Because of their intelligence,
gentle disposition, and beauty, Gypsy horses have rekindled in me a
deep and passionate love of riding. Moreover, I feel no qualms about
letting my young daughter be around any of our Gypsy horses.

Gypsy Vanner Horse Facilities at
Blarney Stone Acres
Our farm is located on 8 beautiful acres in a lush,
green corner of northern New Jersey. With a mix of woodland and
paddocks, there are plenty of turnouts for our Gypsy horses to
graze. The animals are housed in a spacious, well-lit, 12-stall barn
that can only be described as state-of-the-art, with hot and cold
running water, special birthing stalls, and even a heated floor.
This makes this a perfect facility for breeding these fine Gypsy
horses. There are both indoor and outdoor arenas, so the Gypsy
horses can be worked year-round. In addition, we often use outside
trainers that are available for on-site consultation.
Blarney Stone Acres is a private facility, open for visits by
interested buyers by appointment only.
