Georgia Gypsy Horses
One reason I love the Georgia Mountains is that it's a wonderful area to enjoy my horses. I've had horses for more than fifty years. Most have been Arabs or part Arabs. Currently, I have eleven horses. Seven are Gypsy horses. Several of these are for sale!
Georgia Gypsy Horses -
Ellijay and Gilmer County in the North Georgia Mountains is
the home a growing population of Gypsy Horses.
In 2002, two friends and I spent a week riding through the Argyll region of Scotland. We quickly came to appreciate the
horses we used -- sturdy animals, very calm and extremely
sure-footed on the often treacherous terrain of the Western
Highlands. These horses are described variously as Irish Cobs, Gypsy Cobs, Gypsy Vanners, or simply, Gypsy Horses. I fell in love with these horses and resolved to have one.
Now, with a herd of seven, I've decided that several of these lovely, gentle creatures deserve a new home where they would benefit from the individual attention they crave. The prices are below, but I will consider all serious offers if I can be assured the horse would be given a good home.
