Gem is a beautiful filly out of 'Pride and Joy' and 'Gypsy Elite Daphne'. She was foaled on the 20th July 2009 as we watched via web cam here in Australia.

Gem's dam, Daphne has been an amazing producer of outstanding foals in the USA putting her stamp on all of them and we expect Gem to be no different. See below for for pictures of Daphne's offspring.

Gem joined us with Daphne on the Gold Coast late October 2009. Boy can this girl move! In 2010 Gem attended 2 shows including the Royal Brisbane show where she was also on exhibit in the Horse Breed Display Pavilion. Gem is also a star in a couple of horse training DVD's of John Chatterton showing how to handle 'spooky objects'.  She really lives up to her name and is a real Gem.

We look forward to getting her out again in 2012 at a few shows and of course her beautiful foals she will have in years to come.

Gem is a very kind loveling filly will mature to approximately 14.1hh.

Now how many stallions do you let your 12 year old daughter sit on in the paddock with no halter and bareback......

N'Co The Front Cover Story

Story is an absolutely amazing mare who we feel so privileged to own. A million thank yous to Pamela Litz from N'Co Gypsy Vanners for agreeing to part with this beauty. Story travelled out to Australia in November 2011 to join our herd. From the moment she stepped off the truck she has been nothing but a dream. Story is a big lady standing at over 15hh. She has an incredible kind nature and is just a doll. Story was extremly sucessful in the show ring back in the USA taking out many halter wins and was the High Point Halter Gypsy Vanner of the year 2007.

Story is in foal to Mr. Bikers Conners N'Co. This one will surely be a keeper!! Biker also received the coveted 5 star award for conformation and movement in the GVHS inspection program. He also received the gold medallion of quality in the English under saddle performance evaluation.

Story is a 2006 mare by Dreamcatcher who is a DNA verified Gypsy King daughter, and The Headliner (deceased) by Bob the Blagdon and Hairy Mary.

Gypsy Elite Daphne (deceased)

Daphne was a big blocky, black and white Tobiano girl who stood at 14.3 hands tall. She was foaled in 2000 and is a Conners bred mare.

Daphne has been an amazing producer of outstanding foals in the USA putting her stamp on all of them. They are just amazing. Daphne was so smart, beautiful and such a great momma.

Unfortunately Daphne had to be put down not long after her arrival to Australia after suffering complications following colic surgery. She was so heroic and we did everything possible for her, but it just wasn't meant to be. We are devastated by her loss but feel very fortunate to have been able to have owned her for a short time and to be blessed with her last filly foal - Gypsy Elite Prides Gem.

Gem is exceptional and Daphne did extremely well with this one.

Thank you Daphne, you will be forever in our hearts and forever missed. xxx
