Text Box: Updated 02-07-12 Text Box: We operate a small Gypsy horse farm about 30 miles from Salt Lake City, Utah with enough room for the horses to stretch out, or to have their own quiet space. We are Gypsy horse breeders with the goal of providing the best traditional Gypsy horses available. We are members of the GHA and working the members to advance the Gypsy horse breed in quality and status. Text Box: Forest Knights Gypsy Horses Text Box: Welcome! Text Box: Ariana, our first foal of 2012, just moments after her arrival. She arrived with a “Glass Eye” (no color, just clear), which has since turned to a very pretty light blue color. She appears to be a chestnut, but she is a silver bay, with a single red gene. S Text Box: About our Gypsy Horses Our Gypsy horses have been selected only from the best available stock. Our prime selection factors are temperament first, then health and conformity, finally size and color. Each of our horses are treated as family members and we give as much attention to each horse that we are able. We purposely keep the number of yearly breeding down to the size we can handle, giving each foal the amount of time it takes to produce a gypsy horse that is fully family integrated, this is something that cannot be provided by a large breeder, that just pumps out the horses. If you are looking for a family oriented gypsy horse, please take the time to visit a smaller breeder and see the difference for yourself. Each of our foals are imprinted at birth and handled daily to ensure a close bonding. Every horse goes through and continuous bonding and training process starting as foals, each going through kindergarten training, de-sensitizing, loading, lifting of feet, crossing tarps and bridges, having their heads covered, clipping, and patience. As they reach two years old, they are started on their prep work for driving and saddle training. After they reach the age of they are scheduled for driving or saddle training, so each horse has a purpose. We believe Gypsy horses are healthier fed on a natural diet of grass and grass hay, with a minimal amount of supplements and grains, for slower growth leading to healthier horse with stronger bones, muscles, and joints. We welcome and encourage all visitors, please call to make arrangements for your visit. Text Box: Updated 03/23 Text Box: Mar 2012 Arrival - 2010 Creed, our beautiful solid buckskin colt arrived from “Gone Gypsy” farm in Florida. Creed shows well and is a very intelligent colt, he thinks before acting, he will make a great addition to our gypsy horses. We plan to keep him as raise him and Boomer as stallions for our breeding program. Boomer and Creed get along like they were born together, they eat sleep and play together and are great stable mates. Boomer is larger and is the dominant horse, but the two colt get along great. Text Box: Jan. 2012 Departure Broghan, our sweet silver dapple stallion, has left for her new home in Salt Lake with Mandi and Sam. Broghan now thinks he is in seventh heaven, as Mandi works with him about 18 hours a day! Broghan has long been a farm favorite here, and his antics and his super personality will be greatly missed here. He leaves a big hole in our hearts, he is a one in a million stallion. As you can see from the picture Mandi and Broghan are almost inseparable, when he is out of his enclosure, he will follow Mandi everywhere. Broghan is available for outside breeding (contact Roxy or Jim), we will be using Broghan as our herd sire through 2013, when our colts are old enough to assume the role. Text Box: Feb. 2012 Departure Envy, our stunning and beautiful solid bay mare has left us to be join with her new family. We are sad to see Envy go, but we are very happy she is going to a great family in Utah. Congratulation to Lacey and Corey of Eagle Mountain Utah, on the purchase of their second Gypsy horse., and to the start of their breeding program. Lacey seems to enjoy training and showing. Envy was a good choice for her, she is extra sweet and learns fast they will work great together. She should produce outstanding foals for Lacey and Corey.
