Old No.7 Goes to His New Home

Posted on August 10, 2011 with No Comments

It was a hot, sunny Saturday when we arrived at in Humboldt, TN on July 23, 2011 but that didn’t keep all of friends, family and community away! We were greeted with a fantastic reception as we drove with people clapping and waving anxiously awaiting Old No. 7’s arrival. There was a TV setup with a video on TLC and its mission, a great scrap book of some of their students and more information on AGHAF and LexLin Gypsy Ranch.  TLC Riding Academy was founded in 2006, as a therapeutic horseback riding program for persons with disabilities.  Horses are used at TLC to assist with activities that help individuals with physical and emotional challenges.  They assist all ages of people from young children to adults in their 80’s. There is a small per hour charge fee for lessons/activities but no one is turned away for their inability to pay! There is no doubt that Cheryl and Tom who own and run the academy do it out of a great love for people and horses.

We look forward to updates from TLC on how Old No. 7 is fitting with all their other horses. Tom and Cheryl have a great facility and we can tell Old No. 7 will be showered with love and affection just by the short time we spent there.

You can read more about TLC on their website, www.tlcridingacademyinc.org.

LexLin Gypsy Ranch Welcomes Sundance Kid to His New Home

Posted on June 22, 2011 with No Comments

We know the official announcement has been much anticipated…LexLin is now home to the Sundance Kid!

Sundance is a stunner! He is golden buckskin, blagdon in color which is rare in the Gypsy Vanner/Gypsy Cob breed.  He has one blue eye and one brown eye which really make him look almost like a different horse depending on which profile you see. He is registered with Gypsy Horse Registry of America and the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society as a breeding stallion. We have DNA color results for Sundance and he is available for stud to a limited number of approved Gypsy mares in 2011. We breed Sundance to one of our outstanding Gypsy mares last week. We know he will make a great addition to our breeding program at LexLin!

Here is Sundance’s pedigree as given from famous Gypsy Horse breeder Michael Vine:

“Sundance’s sire is a stallion called TROOPER THORN who is a black and white grandson of Eddie Alcocks Old Horse. His sire is a son of Eddie Alcocks Old Horse and dam is a Bay blagdon splashy mare called Sue Ellen. His sire is Eddie Alcocks Old Horse, who is by the Old Coal Horse.

Sundance dam is a dun mare called WILD ROSE, she is by a palomino stallion called CHIPS 2 x a mare called BLACK BONNY. Chips 2 is by a dark dappled palomino stallion called CHIPS 1 who was owned by my father 35 years ago. Black Bonny is by a Dales bred colt from Weekside Perfect breeding and out of a Black mare called KIZZIE. She was by a palomino stallion called ASPRO, who was around 40 years ago…”

Sundance is currently being evaluated for his riding ability and we hope to begin driving training soon. Please take a look at his page on our website to view more pictures of this Gypsy Vanner stallion. We couldn’t be more excited to have him at LexLin!

June Monthly Horse Auction Update

Posted on June 22, 2011 with No Comments

LexLin Gypsy Ranch hosted our monthly horse auction with two of our featured horses, LexLin’s Wyatt and a breeding to one of our Gypsy Vanner stallions, Gentleman Jack.

LexLin’s Wyatt (SOLD) was born on June 19, 2010, so his one year birthday will be coming up soon! He is a friendly colt, smaller in stature, that would make a great candidate for a children’s mount. Like most Gypsy Vanner/Gypsy Cob horses he has a very outgoing personality and loves attention. He would make the perfect addition to your family!

Gentleman Jack is a beautiful black blagdon stallion, born on June 28^th 2006. He stands 14.2 hh and is registered with Gypsy Vanner Horse Society, Gypsy Horse Association, and the Gypsy Horse Registry of America. His registration with the Gypsy Cob & Drum Association is pending. He has an excellent pedigree. His sire is Tid and his dam is The Chestnut Mare. His pedigree goes all the way back to the famous Lob. His color DNA test results are Red Gene – E/e, and Agouti – a/a. His first foal of 2011, LexLin’s Cha Ching is a beautiful sabino colt. Don’t miss this great opportunity for a breeding to Gentleman Jack!

LexLin Gypsy Ranch Is Gelding our Stallion Geronimo

Posted on June 20, 2011 with No Comments

LexLin Gypsy Ranch is looking forward to offering Geronimo, our beautiful black and white Gypsy Vanner/Gypsy Cob gelding for sale. We feel that Geronimo will make a wonderful show prospect and family horse. Geronimo is a premier Gypsy Vanner born in 2003 and imported from Whales. We feel he will make an excellent candidate for someone looking for a show horse or riding/driving gelding.

The decision to geld was not an easy one. Geronimo has extremely thick mane and feathering. He is easy to handle, and comes right to you in the pasture. He is going to really make someone a very special horse!

We are pleased to offer 30 days of training in either riding or driving disciplines. The training is included in the sale price, so all we need to know is which discipline the new owner(s) prefer. We will consider an additional 30 days of training as well, so call or email if you are interested in a wonderful gelding.

Please visit Geronimo’s page on our website for video and more details!
