EMERALD WINDS GYPSY HORSES

"ABOUT OUR FARM"

We are a private farm located at 6 Collie Brook Road, East Hampton, CT USA 06424 in a very picturesque area of old New England. As we are very much a "working farm" with over 30 horses in training at any time and riding, driving, breeding, and showing Appointments Are Required to view the horses. We do love to show the gypsy horses but we need time to organize our days so please contact us for an appointment. CALL 860-395-7666 for an Appointment.

Our Connecticut farm has lots of rolling stone walls and hillsides with old Oak Forests. Once we got involved in 1997 with the Gypsy breed we knew this would be a long term love and committment. We began our search for our own farm a few years ago. We purchased this lovely old New England farm and have been working on it ever since. It's a beautiful location and it had formerly been used as a cattle farm by Henry Sellew and his relations. Last in the family to have raised cattle was Joseph Bauer some forty years ago.

It's a beautiful place with stonework that is amazing which includes a beautiful granite walled sluice way for the brook and wall surrounding the pond plus the granite stone dam complete with doors to raise and lower the water level. We have old logging roads that are wonderful for riding and driving.

In the "if you build it they will come" category... As of Spring of 2006 we have completed construction on the new barn and indoor arena as well as many new pastures. We'll be out grooming the driving trails on the old logging roads for a bit and we are breeding at the end of April 2006.

The video surveillance security systems are a blessing and we highly recommend this for anyone with a full foaling season or simply to monitor horses in pastures and people on the grounds.

The new MD Barn has been super and is holding up great going in to our third year with it. Still looks brand new and having the finished heated rooms and office is a blessing. We luckily have 24 stalls and a super new 180 x 80 foot Cover It Indoor Arena for working the horses. The farm is blessed this season to have additional pastures available to the horses.

We have carefully planned to provide each of our Gypsy Stallions his own pasture and his own "harem" of mares for this Spring 2006 and shortly they will each again reign over their own herd as they have lived their lives overseas. We plan to let each stallion live as naturally as they can in a true herd environment. We believe fully that this is one of the reasons why our breeding stallions came to us with such wonderful temperaments and are such happy, easy to handle studs.

We ride and drive every day. We very luckily can enjoy 105 acres of groomed trails here on our own farm and are blessed to be adjacent to Salmon River State Forest with thousands of acres available for riding with excellent trail systems in place.

We very proudly breed some of the best Gypsy Horses that you will find anywhere in the world here on our Connecticut farm. Call 860-395-7666 for an appointment.

With expert level horsemen working on training, Equissage Equine Certified Massage Therapists, grooms and staff, we give the utmost care to our animals while they are with us. The horses are our extended "family" here. We know each of their unique personalities and most importantly love them all.
