GHSWest was formed in December of 1999 by Lynn Strauman as the Western North American home of Performance Gypsy Horses. Our goal is to honor the vision created by the Gypsies of the UK, by respecting the standards established from the spoken words of the founding Performance Gypsy Horse breeders. The perfect caravan horse is strong, intelligent, docile, athletic, colorful and has excellent endurance. It is our vocation to demonstrate the Performance Gypsy Horse traits are the perfect horse for any number of Equestrian pursuits.

FIRST PERFORMANCE GYPSY HORSE IN THE WESTERN HALF OF NORTH AMERICA

Ms. Lynn Strauman's Gypsy Odyssey started with a small picture of a colorful draft-type horse in a veterinarian catalog. A few e-mails later - a serious pursuit and exchange of information ensued, and a trip to Florida was in the planning.

The viewing occurred on October 11, 1999. Several candidate horses were viewed, but when Ms. Bodi was lead into the barn and Lynn was told she was trained to pull and was bred to the "Gypsy King" as well, the rest is history!

Ms. Bodi arrived at the Gypsy Rose Ranch via Equine Express Transport on December 9, 1999, the first Performance Gypsy Horse in the Western half of North America. Contact Lynn to find out about our new Performance Gypsy horses available for pre-purchase - 209-380-5793.
