Our Mission

To provide education and promotion of the gypsy horse breed and make benevolent gypsy horse contributions to worthy causes, particularly in support of special needs circumstances, including ability awareness activities and the American Gypsy Horse Angel Foundation.

Welcome to the Magical World of the Gypsy Horse Breed

The gypsy bred horse dates back many years to when Gypsies or Romany Folk roamed freely across the United Kingdom.  The primary function of these horses was to pull the brightly colored, bow-topped wagons called Vardos which were the gypsy's home on wheels.  The gypsies would travel year round in these wagons searching for work during spring picking and harvest seasons.  While initially bred and used as a caravan horse, selected breeding changes over time created a horse that is magnificent in stature, intelligent, willing and easy to train, and has a temperament that is friendly and engaging.  Today this beautiful horse can be seen performing a variety of equine disciplines including driving, jumping, dressage and trail.

The American Gypsy Horse Association was established to provide education and promotion of the gypsy horse breed and to make benevolent gypsy horse contributions to worthy causes, particularly in support of special needs circumstances.  Join the American Gypsy Horse Breed Association today and experience the magic of these majestic horses.

Share in the Enchantment of the Gypsy Horse Breed!
