All of our Gyspy horses have been out all winter , now the good weather has come it is time for them to get back into education ,
Oh my , we have a herd of hairy mammoths , we are all told we should eat five fruit and veg a day , my main diet has been horse hair , today i am still eating it !!.
Roman our Gypsy Stallion is still in the same place as before , i can only boast so much as to how well he is doing in the trot and responding , over the last week or so he is so much better , we dont rush our horses we like to perfect one thing before we move on to another .
At one point it would take 10 mins to get him to go past the mares in the next field , now he knows he has to be a big boy and no matter how much he wants to go and see them he has to walk past like a gent .
Now Lexington ( sexy lexy ) Lilly her mother gave birth to her at night in our field , we had watched her for days – foal watch day and night , and as ever the night we had a good sleep in a warm bed Lexy popped out ,
early morning i called the mares to me , Lilly came from behind the bushes and then another little piebald came trotting around the corner , this foal looked superb , she looked like a three week old foal , she has gone on to be superb, she is not two yet and her mane is almost two and a half foot long , she is a daughter of Casanova a Gypsy Stallion on our site , when we breed we hope for the best , this is one of the best i have bred , she has had many folk admire her, but i know if i sold her i would have to serch long and hard to replace her , she is a hairy mamouth as we speak but coming two she has to learn to be a lady so we will take you through her education also , for now i have added pictures of her , i hope you will pop in now and then to see how our brood of Gypsy horses are doing.

Roman has learnt now how to respond to the leg and will trot forwards without trying to rid himself of the bridle , he has learnt that if he shakes his head he cant control his legs , this has been such funny to watch , at the same time we are breaking in one of our other piebalds she is 1/4 Gypsy and more of a sports horse , home bred at the age of 7 after having two fab foals it is time for her to do a big girls job ,out of the two our Gypsy Stallion is easier to work on , she is very clever but is great at pretending to be deaf and daft.
We are also going to saddle and start one of our Gypsy fillies Frankie age almost two , , again home bred , she is a big strong girl, what i call a proper Gypsy Horse , lots of bulk and bone but wont be ridden until she is three , you see we get a bit of sunshine and the work begins , Lexington will be the next one , she is a week apart in age from Frankie, just as much bulk but very very pretty , small pony head and a mane near on two and a half feet long and not two just yet , you are sure to all get confused but as i said we will post the good and the bad , off to find you some home photos of us and our beloved Gypsy Stallion , you will be amazed at the things he will do .
Roman learns to trot properly , we just need to get him using the bit now
puppy love
Frankie the tank , the colt behind her it 3 , this pic was taken at just over a year and a half

Roman has been sat on many times but has never been ridden properly with full tack on and made to work as a big boy , near on the age of five he has to learn to earn his keep .
Tack went on fine , he did not flinch as we did the girth up tighter , no problem and then ???? his face was a picture , what am i expected to do ?? he was told to walk on with gentle pressure from the riders leg , after 5 mins he was told to “get on ” in a louder voice , by this time his rider was kicking him on , all he did was to stand enjoying his sides massaged .
After 10 mins we took a little branch from the hedge and tapped him on the bottom , you would have thought he had an electric shock , when i say a little tap i mean just that , much more would have sent him onto orbit , working with Gypsy Horses esp Stallions is great fun , on the first day we got him to walk on in the end just by voice , ok it was a bit all over the place but so long as he was going forward we were happy , we spent the next few days going over the same thing , it came to the point as it does with Stallions, he became bored .i go back to choosing the right bit now , as with all good Gypsy Stallions he has a small pony head and a pony mouth so we had to choose the right bit , we chose what we call a Chery Roller in the UK it had d rings and the roller consists of copper rings to get the horse to mouth on them , the first time we rode him in this he twisted his mouth and pulled a face like he was sucking on lemons , he soon settled , and than came the day to ask him for his first trot with all the tack on and the sour lemon in his mouth .
What a giggle , he had no idea how to balance , feet all over the place , probably wanted to buck off the offending person on his back , the sour lemon thing was acting as it should , he shook his head this way and that but the tack and rider were not going away , in the end we had him doing a steady trot for a few strides , we then called it a day as he had been a good boy .
The next day we took him out and about , two pretty fillies took his eye , he bounced on the spot for a few seconds but when told to walk away he did , however he did turn around many times to see if they were still there .
We aim to get him ready for ridden showing in the UK , the next step is canter with no bucking we hope , please stay with this story and have fun with us , we took some family photos with him yesterday , we take pride in how we bring on our Gypsy Stallions , hope you enjoy .

The first stallion i owned was an Arab , he was semi rescued at the age of four , he had to be handled on a stallion bit with a chain as he had never been allowed to be a proper horse , i vowed from that day any Stallion i had would be allowed to be himself !! The Stallion i am talking about went on to take gold at INT shows , i still own him aged 21 .
A Stallions life can be a lonely one , but only if we make it !! we can exclude him from mares , treat him as a thing to be recond with . I hope to show you the way we do it .
Roman , has been sat on for seconds from the age of two , he is coming five now so he has to be ridden , we have had fun over the last week ! the saddle and bridle is new to him , he is a good boy but , he has tried all !!! to get out of doing what he is told ,Gypsy Horses are known for being loving , we re loving this boy , he is soo funny i cant tell you ,all i can do is send pics. xx

I Have told you all i would make a blog to keep you all coming back , Oh my , i have to live up to it know !!!! I am going to take you step by step through the education of our young Gypsy Horse Stallion .
At this point , hi to Sinatras mum and dad as you have this to come , the boy in question is a near on five years Stallion from the Lottery Horse lines , we have owned him from the age of two .
He has spent the last two summers meeting ladies and as a result has produced only filly foals , but now he has to become a bigger boy and to be ridden is all part of this .
Over the next few weeks come and join us , tomorrow i will tell you of his education with us until today, i am looking forward to sharing this with you good or bad, he is a good boy but he is a stallion so i think he will be trying to test us , check in tomorrow all , there is lots more to come i am sure .
At last up and blogging again , first i would like to say hi to Sanatras new mum and dad , it has been so good to hear how he has been getting on , it is just great when new family’s keep in contact .
I have been thinking about a new blog and wondering what i could do to make it fun for all of us , therefore i am going to blog about our young Stallion we are just starting to break in the English way , i hope you will all come and see now and then .
His Name is Made in England , his stable name is Roman , for years people have shyed away from Stallion ownership for many reasons , Gypsy Horses are well known for their good nature , this lad goes beyond good, in the next few posts i will show you why .
I will be back with you all soon , please feel free to join in with our fun , we will show you the good bits and the bad bits , at the end of it i hope to have a perfect ridden Stallion .
