Jeff makes a delivery
of horses. This is the kind of door-to-door service we can provide
(Chris was on the England end shipping them off!). That's one of the
Black-Forest-Shires-Mobile's on the left side behind. It's an Exiss
aluminum 6 horse trailer with living quarters and Dodge Diesel truck
(people always ask!). Photo was taken in Vermont, at our friend's
"Gypsy Grace Ranch" place. Don't miss their web site at
www.gypsygraceranch.com
Our friend John, who
came with us on our June trip to England, and Jim traveling on the road
to the horse fair in June, 2002. This is the traditional way to go.
Those horses are Babydoll and Grey Gal from the sales/sold page. They are
really neat mares!
The view from inside
the gypsy wagon, on the road to the horse fair. One horse does the
pulling, and the second horse can have a collar put on to help pull the
hills if needed. The horses are Babydoll and Grey Gal again, with Grey Gal
doing the work this time. Jeff took this picture, while he was
traveling the long road with the group.
Somewhere in the
Pennsylvania... These are a few of the horses that came over on
the July 7, 2002 flight, on their way to the second quarantine in KY.
That's BB, Darla, Ruby, and Candy with their faces out. Baker
(Candy's foal), and Olivia are also in there, but they didn't have their
heads stuck out at the moment. They were all enjoying Buns donated
to them by the nice folks at the McDonald's. Gypsy horses make
friends wherever they go!
This picture is from a limited edition print called "In Black Forest",
done by John S. Hockensmith, the official photographer for the Kentucky
Derby and other major equine events. John did a photo shoot at our
farm in 2001, and several of the pictures are now limited edition
prints. See his work at
www.bluegrassheritage.com (this site hasn't been updated in a
while, but hopefully soon some of the prints of our horses will be
available on there. Until then, several of them are available on
the
KY Horse Park's web site, and even more are available if you order
their free catalog). The horses in the picture are 2 yearling
fillies we imported in 2000, named Lily and Belle. There is
another print of them available, as well as many limited edition prints
of our shire horses in his collection as well.

June,
2003. That's Jeff inside the waggon, driving the
"sideliner". The sideliner is just a trotter
horse, but in the shafts is a traditional gypsy cob
stallion.
Jeff drove about 20 miles of the trip to the horse fair with our
friend pictured walking alongside the waggon. It's
traditional that the main driver walks most of the way on the
road, and only rides on the waggon when there is a hill to trot
up.
Babies
on a plane. Four yearlings, Buckley, Marco, Champagne, and
Princess are ready for their big plane ride. Photo is from coming
up the ramp of the plane. The main body of the plane is to the
right.
Happiness is a field full of gypsy horses. These are a few of ours
in England. It's hard to tell where one starts and the other ends
when they are laying together!
