New News!
Gypsy Magic has undergone some big changes in the last few years. Originally founded in 2017 the State of California, GMEO joyfully served its communities with many programs and activities. With the onset of Covid, we were forced to close down operations and our hope was to reopen with renewed energy and members in the future.
We have done just that!

Why are Gypsy horses so special?
The true Gypsy Horse is a traditional horse and has been used by the Romany people or "Gypsies", in Europe for many years. The Romany people bred colorful, feathered cob horses to pull their ornately decorated carts and living wagons, or "Vardos", thru the countryside of England and Ireland. They were considered to be members of the family and gentle enough for the family’s young children to ride. They were specifically bred for a wonderfully gentle nature and family friendly personality.
As a result of this incredible nature, Gypsy horses lend themselves quite naturally to outreach work and the gentle demeanor of the Gypsy horse especially seems to have a unique ability to connect and interact with people of all ages. We thoroughly enjoy bringing this “Gypsy Magic” for people to enjoy.
