What a wonderful story the owner, Dennis, shared with us. The farm is clearly a labor of love for him and the tour was excellent.
Thank you so much for your kind words. It truly means a lot. Sharing the story of these horses—and the journey behind them—is something very personal to me, and I’m grateful it resonated with you. This farm has always been a labor of love, and knowing that comes through during the tour makes it all worthwhile. We’re glad you enjoyed your time with us and hope to welcome you back again one day.

Very informative. Love the beautiful colors and friendly horses. And donkeys, mules!!
Thank you for your great review and for visiting Gypsy Gold
Such a great experience. Horses and donkeys were amazing! Bad donkeys lol, got in to misbehave eating the horses alfalfa, they were so funny! Would recommend!
Thank you for the great review—we’re so glad you had a fun visit! It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed meeting this unique breed and spending time with the horses. They truly are something special, and we love sharing them with guests. And yes… the donkeys! They do have a way of finding the alfalfa no matter what we do. Around here we like to say they’re not bad—just very determined and a little too clever for their own good. They certainly keep things entertaining! We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again down the road. Warm regards, Dennis and Erin Thompson Gypsy Gold Horse Farm
Wonderful walking tour and ability to interact with these beautiful, friendly and intelligent horses. Learned so much about these carriage horses used to pull the caravans of Gypsies. Donkeys, mules and macaws were an added delight! Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review—we truly appreciate you sharing your experience! I’m glad you enjoyed the interactive nature of the tour. Being able to spend time up close with the horses is something we feel is very special, and it’s rewarding to hear that you connected with their beauty, intelligence, and gentle spirit. It also means a lot that you enjoyed learning about their history as the horses of the traveling people—there’s a rich story behind them, and we’re honored to help keep it alive. And yes, our extended family of donkeys, mules, and macaws always seem to make the day a little more memorable—they each have their own personalities and charm! Thank you again for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Gypsy Gold again soon. Warm regards, Dennis and Erin Thompson Gypsy Gold Horse Farm
