Rom Baro in Denver in March, 2006.  He is about to go into the ring for the gypsy cob breed demo.  His tail drags the ground by about 18 inches now, so he gets his own "train holder" whenever he is shown.

The search is over!

For years now we have been searching high and low for a stallion that meets our personal

incredibly high standards for a a gypsy horse stallion.  In the fall of 2002, we finally found that horse.  His name Rom Baro, AKA Tyson.  This is the one that we chose for ourselves, after personally reviewing LITERALLY hundreds of regular sized gypsy horse stallions over the years.  He's got it all, the right size, age, hair, and conformation that we have searched worldwide for.  He is a superb example of his breed, the likes of which we have seen no equal. 

Rom Baro is 15.2 hands tall, and is an incredibly gentle and sensible horse.  He is non-fading, coal black , with no brown or roan, and has more hair than 10 normal gypsy horses.  He's well broke to ride and drive, and a baby can handle him.  He's trick trained as well, as you can see from the pictures!  Rom Baro will be making limited appearances throughout the USA and Canada, so check back again to find out when and where.  We have been asked several times if this horse is for sale.  Not really, but if you made us an offer we couldn't refuse...  Well, we can talk...

Rom Baro practices his tricks.

Rom Baro is currently not available for breeding to outside mares.

The name "Rom Baro" literally translated from gypsy is "Big Man". 
The Rom Baro is the leader of a traveling group of gypsies, or clan (The Kumpania). 
It is Pronounced 'Rome-bar-oh'
