GYPSY GOLD
This video featuring the story and horses of Gypsy Gold, includes the birth of the first Gypsy Vanner Horse baby to be born in North America - Kuchi.  Kuchi is a daughter of The Gypsy King - one of Breyers top ten selling models - and Bat (Bat and Dolly were the first two Vanners to step hoof on American soil on November 24, 1996).  Kuchi is now owned by WR Ranch and is also a Breyer model!






 
The American Introduction...
All but one  of the original 16 Gypsy Vanner Horses in North America were introduced at Equitana USA in Louisville, KY, 1998 (Chauvani was too pregnant to travel!).  Virtually no one outside the world of Gypsies had seen these amazing horses until seventy thousand people at this event and countless more simultaneously saw them at www.GypsyVannerHorse.com .  This video shows a bit of that original introduction. The world went crazy for the Gypsy Vanner Horse and when The Gypsy King appeared on the cover of Jeffer's catalog, Dennis and Cindy received over 30,000 visitors to their web site in five days...

1998 TV appearance, Part 2

 A very early TV appearance -  Dennis, Cindy, Lynn Palm (famous trainer and clinician) and Cyril Pittion Rossillon  (international jumper trainer, riding instructor and husband of Lynn Palm). Those of you who are familiar with "ER Gypsy" (cover of the 2007 Gypsy Vanner Horse calendar) - a beautiful daughter of The Gypsy King who now belongs to Vanner Ranch - will enjoy seeing her here as a tiny, speckled foal with her mother Papuza (one of the first sixteen Vanners in North America).
