| "Round-hoof'd, short-jointed, fetlocks shag and long,
Broad breast, full eye, small head and nostril wide,
High crest, short ears, straight legs and passing strong,
Thin mane, thick tail, broad buttock, tender hide;
Look, what a horse should have he did not lack,
Save a proud rider on so proud a back."
William Shakespeare |

Marvel started trying to jump and buck before he could stand up! He's got lots of bling! FOUR white legs - and a wide racing stripe down his nose. At two days old he discovered the center beam in our barn and just wouldn't leave it alone - the worlds smallest race-track... just for him - and just for you.

What a beautiful filly! A lovely star on her forehead, and one white sock. "Joyful" is very friendly, and has jumped a 5 ft fence three times! She's going to be a powerful athlete, with the looks and personality to charm.

Gypsy has a bit of a story associated with her -
explaining the reason her name is Gypsy. She was born at my parents
ranch in San Diego county. However, since it was about 2:00 in the morning
no one noticed. She (apparently) immediately wandered out of the
enclosure her mother was in. A little bit later my sound-asleep parents
were awakened by a slightly drunk man saying he had found a baby horse
on the road (a normally busy road!) and figured it had to be "theirs" since
they were the only place with horses anywhere nearby. My father,
however, wasn't quite convinced. When he finally got down to the
road and saw her - he thought she couldn't be "their" baby
- she was too big! However, they decided that there really wasn't
anywhere else for her to have come from - and since she was still
wet - it was obvious it had to be the expected (but not quite yet)
foal. The helpful man, his girlfriend, and my father proceeded to
attempt to put the poor little thing back in with her mother. However,
she didn't really appreciate the help! The three "non-horse" persons
had quite a time attempting to get her to cooperate. My dad wrote
a very funny poem about the entire event - which I appreciated very
much since I was a bit upset to have missed all the excitement. I
am, however, very grateful that "Gypsy"- wanderer
though she was - grew up so beautiful.
In the spring of 2007 we experienced the horror of going outside to find Gypsy with an aweful eye injury. There was no indication of how she received the injury, but for a while, we were not sure if she would keep the eye. Thanks to the wonderful care Gyspy received at the Pilchuck Vet Hospital, from the hand of Dr. Fahr. Gyspy did keep her eye - and she still has sight! This has amazed everyone who saw the injury. Gypsy has, with the resilience typical of animals, given no indication that the eye impeads her in any way. She does not need any medication for the injury - although a white scar is visible in the eye. The vet has assured me that this injury should not keep her from becoming a wonderful riding horse, or being a valuable breeding horse. We have reduced her price to reflect the potential impact this injury may have. |
