My old neighbor moved to a house very close to this farm. One time me and my family went and visited the farm. I met this horse named Little Fred, what a cutie! I would run up and down the pasture with him and he had so much fun. Wish I could go see him again, he is a human in a horse body.

[@blossom9876]

Go beg your parents when this virus is over to go visit the horse if that dose not work offer money or chores or good grades hope that works

[@mindyshively4947]

Thank you for your efforts in bringing this horse to America. Wonderful! I also appreciate your efforts in helping deepen feelings of understanding and human kindness. A true legacy.

[@Tar7560]

The Viking trail sounds like a beautiful concept, one that the world could do with taking right now. Especially here in the US, there’s a lot of adults that need to walk a trail like that.

[@elainewright9750]

I visited your farm today, I was quite impressed. The story behind this man and his wife is truly touching. Like a fairy tail. I walked away touched by the story.

[@laltlanchhungi6796]

It like emo

[@DR-op2eu]

I couldn't believe what I was seeing when I first learned about that breed touring the farm. I was taking close-up pics and saw that some of them had mustaches, was the funniest thing. There beautiful animals

[@dlmalley8639]

What a Beautiful way to teach children... Empathy, Compassion, Unity... etc . PLEASE include UNITY.🌎🕊 and Coexist 👍 💖

[@grahambennet9766]

The gypsy vanner cob is a great companion for any human.. quiet docile and loves human companionship

[@KJMudge]

What an absolutely gorgeous ranch and I adore the Vanner horses and the aidea of the Viking trail teaching the children positive values is just perfect

[@nataliapalovcak9379]

Such a magical place. I would be so honored to visit this farm.

[@jamiepeters198]

Omgoodness,I want one so badly,seriously going to start searching for a beautiful black and white older broke for saddle gelding. Such a beautiful magical breed!!!

[@LadyKee]

Absolutely Beautiful, I love these horses just "GORGEOUS!"😍😍😍💞💞

[@sunnyhu4855]

Oh wow! this is a great program. love gypsy vanners and what you do for the children!

[@dianeharrelle6675]

I want to cry out to God and have asked Him to help me get one of these beautiful horses. I'm old now and there just seems no hope. What does one do with such a strong desire to love. I had many horses in my life time, but never knew of this breed. Before God takes me...just let me hug one.

[@ladytinter-AlleyKat]

I remember the original website with Cushti Bok coming through a beautiful frame. In my English class at The Masters College, I wrote a paper on Cushti Bok.❤

[@ArbitraryExploration]

The farm is beautiful. The horses are gorgeous! This is an amazing story. These horses have history and are truly special!!

[@maryrichmond3336]

[@sherrybowe2340]

Beautiful Gypsy Horses. ❤Love the culture of Gypsies ❤

[@xvsupremacy7190]

sherry bowe I was raised with Gypsies not far from Appleby . Where the Police 👮‍♂️Station is now , the Gypsies/Travellers still live there with the Full Gospel Church Light and Life . The Vardahs with horses 🐴 would be there . Many would winter ❄️ in the cheap terraced houses in Darlington, and in June it would start with Appleby Fair , then The Hoppings at Newcastle upon Tyne , they looked forward to meeting up at the Fairs and Missions Countrywide . In October it would be Yarm Fair along the High Street Of Yarm Nth Yorkshire . Mr and Mrs Lamb would take their caravan every year to be friends with the Gypsies/Travellers and take Tracts with the Gospel . The Vardahs and Vanners still hold pride of place over the Trailers/Caravans at Appleby Fair .

[@kimsutube11]

All it takes is endless cash flow, good employees and a little imagination to live the vision.

[@theresawooten6455]

So awesome. Educational. God Loving people.

[@deniseroberts7481]

I surely hope that someday I'll be able to come there and see them😍

[@maryroby5021]

These are beautiful horses ,what do you use to keep their manes so shiny and long.keep up your good work.

[@pamelaneibuhr6959]

My mother and grandmother lived in Ocala. Such huge ranches. And you never see a horse. Aerial view proves that.

[@sylviacaceres4008]

Did I miss a gypsy horse or a few of them in gallops

[@cheng2974]

very beautiful farm!

[@user-nl2nt6jq8f]

Спасибо за видео

[@pattigaudet9894]

Can we come for a tour? So incredible!!!

[@nightskyadventures9529]

Awesome video. Gypsy Vanners look like friendly, playful horses. Great job with the audio and video production, too, Hal.

[@18Summers]

Thank you! We were so excited to do this video.

[@xvsupremacy7190]

Nightsky Adventures These have been bred top notch , these are the toffs Of Gypsy Horses , they do not come any better than these .

[@deb9426]

A stop at Gypsy Gold will bring you back again and again. Dennis is a wealth of information about Gypsies and the culture. This is a must stop for any Florida vacation.

[@18Summers]

We couldn't agree more! Dennis was an amazing host. What a great place.

[@jjdjj5392]

I think it was more about the farm than the horses. Saw more of the trees and pastures than the horses.

[@18Summers]

I appreciate your feedback. It is very much about the farm and the horses. It is funny that as time goes by, I look back at this video and think about what I would do differently. It is amazing what clarity we get with time. Anyway, like I said, I appreciate the feedback.

[@sourmuffin4077]

ppl who live on a horse ranch in florda is lucky cuz dey have horses and can go to da beach

[@alisonvander7996]

What are the songs playing in the video? GREAT video!

[@18Summers]

Alison Vander the first song is “Drive You Home” (instrumental). The second song is “Come Dance With Me”. Both of them are by my friend Bradford Loomis. www.bradfordloomis.com

[@alisonvander7996]

Thanks! the very first part sounds like the intro to "Arms" by Christinia Perry. Very NICE! PS Thanks for the intro to Bradford Loomis! Always on the lookout for new music and these will be added to my fav list!

[@geminidream4347]

I love your idea of naming the donkeys virtues, you are right, that word will be instilled every time that picture is viewed. The gypsy culture got a bad name from days of old in my opinion. I love the Tarot and a great reader to me is one that tells me like it is. Does not sugar coat what they see just for the sake of making me feel good. I don't like nasty surprises dumped in my lap. If I knew in advance of it coming, I am in a better mind frame to deal with it! So if the reader was just doing what they were paid for, giving the honest truth of what they believed they saw in the cards, in the mindset of old, they caused it when the bad thing happened. What rubbish! The Universe is in constant flux, so you always have a way or time to change things. Just turning left one day instead of going your usual right, changed the whole events of that day. Same with female healers of old, using a gift given them to heal, they were branded witches causing all the bad things the villages around them were having, completely ignoring all the times they healed them! There are a lot of people that have to have someone else to blame for their misfortunes instead of standing up and taking their own responsibility in the event! Get a good mindbender in a crowd to work the people into a frenzy, they will do the bidding and blaming of this mindbender even if it is against their nature to do so! Witches have be updated to a somewhat expectable status, it's about time we updated the Gypsy culture too, to learn from.

[@chaseyourwanderlust6060]

Nice man! Looks like a fun place to visit. Do they harvest host?

[@18Summers]

Thank you! They don't harvest host. We went for the tour they offer three times per week. We just fell in love with the place and had to go back and shoot the video. We sold our horse before hitting the road, so for my wife and daughter this was a must stop.

[@shirleyphilbrick1135]

Should have seen more horses in this video in my opinion.

[@PACOSBBQ]

Is there an age limit for what you consider "children"?

[@cestmoi3568]

Love hourse

[@makeenglisheasy7649]

Bhai india mai gypsy horse hota hai

[@user-lq6vn1wx2y]

[@AmandaHoranGoBookYourself]

I really wish Americans didn't rename them. They are the Irish cob.

Less drone footage please...

[@18Summers]

MartinHCollection well, I can’t reduce it now. 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@brookedavidson7305]

MartinHCollection stop being rude,

[@MartinHCollection]

@@brookedavidson7305 what is rude about it???

[@oksills]

Horses are gorgeous! However, the philosophy is New Age Gobbledygook! Symbolism over substance.

[@camillepalmer9337]

I came to this video to see the horses not see a self promotion video for the farm.

[@18Summers]

Self promotion? Other than be interviewed and allow me to film the facilities, Gypsy Gold had nothing to do with the creation or production of this video. My family travels this AMAZING country (USA) and documents our experiences. This was our video of the farm, and our wanting to tell its story, not theirs.

[@beverlyhosmer9339]

These horses are the best of all horses

[@WhiteBarnPress]

@@18Summers To counter the critical commentary about self promotion, I found your video inspiring. I've been to the farm and loved every minute of the story and tour. I'm currently working on a book, HORSES OF OCALA. In the process of my research I came across your beautiful video. Thank you. Suzanne whitebarnpress.com

[@katmc7803]

Horse's are hear for us to take good care of no matter what how much you have to keep it up to date as that's the love of your animal at the end of the day to keep it in good health god bless them all in this world .
