About Jordin Sparks
Appleby Vanner Farm excitedly presents GG Latcho’s Jordin Sparks, the second filly to arrive here. Her dam is The Kings Kaulo Ratti, a Gypsy King daughter, the 8th Vanner to be imported to America, as well as a full sister to, Dolly, the first Vanner imported to America. Her sire, Latcho Drom (the name means safe journey) is one of the most pre-potent, sought after Vanner stallions in North America. At first Dennis was very reluctant to sell Jordin because of her incredible bloodlines. After spending considerable time with us, he realized we are going to remain true to the vision the Gypsies have for this magnificent breed. He, therefore, finally sold her to us but has maintained certain breeding rights because of her amazing heritage. As soon as she starts producing viable follicles, we will be breeding her to the following Gypsy Gold stallions: Gypsy King, Cushti Bok and BB King. Inquiries on these babies that will be available next year are welcome. In order to protect the integrity of this breed, references are required for any foals we sell. Remember quality begets quality. And that is what you will find here at Appleby Vanner Farm, nothing less. We look forward to hearing from you and helping you find the horse of your dreams.

About WCF Fancy Affaire
Introducing WCF Fancy Affaire, the very first filly to arrive at Appleby Vanner Farm. She came from Wild Creek Farm, home of the magnificent stallion Romany King. (half brother to Cushti Bok). Her dam is Jasmine, the 5th horse Dennis Thompson imported. Jasmine is a direct daughter of the old White Horse, and a full sister to Dolly. Her papers speak for themselves. And having one of her offspring come to us was truly a “God thing”. We thought we had our baseline for the foundation of Appleby all set with horses we had already purchased and/or had contracts on. I called Barbara Snyder merely to inquire how to go about joining the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society. It was then she told me about her beautiful “Miss Fancy”. What a wonderful addition Fancy has been. Her conformation, sweet personality, and overall appearance make her a great representative of this incredible breed. “Fancy” is the only filly Jasmine has thrown thus far. She is one of a kind and very special. We have stud fees reserved from the following Gypsy Gold stallions for her: Latcho Drom, Caymus, Gypsy King and possibly The Road Sweeper. We look forward to your inquiries on these upcoming foals. We are requiring references on any horses we sell in order to make sure they wind up in loving homes, as well as to protect the integrity of the Breed. Visitors are always welcome and we sincerely look forward to meeting other Gypsy Vanner enthusiasts.
