HI Doro,

We just got back from the barn and Sam absolutely loves Abigail. She was so surprised and even cried. You would have thought Abigail has been at the barn her whole entire life, she was not hyper or antzy at all. Sam has a ball that they use with the children with autism and they played with that for a little bit. Abigail was not spooked at all and even kicked it a couple times. Since they braided her mane for the trip, Sam took it out and sprayed main detangler on it. She never budged. Her temperamant is just as you said. We can not thank you enough. I promise I will keep you updated on her progress and pictures.

Attached is a picture of Sam and Abigail. I will have more tomorrow for you.

I can not say thank you enough, I promise we will take good care of your baby.

Talk to you soon,

I have to tell you everyone and I mean everyone who has seen Abigail has commented on how beautiful and wonderful she is. They can not believe what an exceptional horse she is. The one lady that was there today said she kept on looking at her trying to find a flaw and she couldn't. She said she had to be the most beautiful horse in PA. I thought you would like to hear that. Sam still can't believe that she is hers.

..didn't get a chance to say this before, but I am so impressed with your farm. I had no idea that there were people out there who cared THAT much about the stock that they were importing and selling. I had one person (not going to name names) who tried to sell me a mare who was VERY under par. She was sickle hocked, over the knee, pigeon toed, and had horrible conformation. The seller, however, wanted an arm and a leg for her because she had rare coloration and the fact that she was a Gypsy. I love the things that you say about the breed itself on your website, and was impressed that you included the entire revised version of the GCDHA requirements as well. I actually helped to revise them... *smiles* So, I love seeing that people appreciate them! But, back to the original reason for this paragraph. You have beautiful stock, and I have so much respect for you and the horses you sell.

Hello to all the gypsy horse folks,
I must say the idea of importing a horse was very scary for me. I felt very comfortable working with Doro. I was impressed with her quick responses to my emails. I loved my stud colt I purchased from her. He was everything and more than I could ask for. He was lab tested to be homozygous for the tobiano gene, before I got him, but to my surprise and delight turned out to be homozygous for the black gene as well when I had him tested after I purchased him. I was told he was going to be over 15 hands. He just turned two and he is over 15 hands, likely going to reach 15'3 hands. I felt like the horse Doro sold me was both wonderful and as advertised. He was a dream come true. Now we are looking for a filly, and of course I came to Doro to help us have another dream horse. Feel free to email me at ponytailgal@aol.com for more info on our journey of the gypsy horses.

"We are extremely excited by the quality of horse we just purchased from Magic Horse Ranch. Richard and Doro are wonderful people and a joy to work with. They even took the extra time to make sure that our mare was safe and easy to handle before we brought her home to Wisconsin. We look forward to purchasing another filly from them in the very near future."

Comments from breeders and admirers of gypsy horses around the world

Hi There,
Just to well done on an excellent site, very informative and entertaining. A one who also loves the gypsy cob its great to learn of people who are like minded. I am fortunate enough to live here in Ireland and to that end able to see a range of cobs here there and yonder throughout the countryside. I recently travelled to County Louth in the Republic of Ireland as I had heard of an old man who apparently owned 25 cobs of all shapes and sizes. When I eventually tracked him down he took me to a field along a disused railway track and there I saw some wonderful stock before I left I had purchased a lovely colt foal black and white and great bone. Standing in the corner of the field I saw another little black colt foal with a white face and 4 white socks just begging to come home with me.
Two days later I phoned the old man and as a result I brought both home with me. They are now at home in warm comfortable stables and enjoying the rolling County Down Hills and eating fine organic fodder. As it is deepest winter here in Ireland they will remain in until Spring when they will be turned out into fresh spring grass to develop and only time will tell how they turn out.

But again I say well done on your efforts to promote the Irish Cob in the U S A and further afield

Hiya my name is felicity and I am from england. I was looking on your website and I have a horse on loan that is a 15'2, pibald, mare. I do agree that they have lovely temperament and they are very laid back, sometimes too laid back. I found your site very interesting and I have tried to send you a picture of her! Hope you will agree that she is beautiful!
