about us
Underhill Gypsies is a small breeding operation based in sunny Southern California. We currently have one mare, but have plans to grow over the next few years. At Underhill Gypsies, we are committed to breeding top-quality Gypsy Vanner horses, and our mare sets the standard for that goal.
Though we strive to produce foals with uncommon color at Underhill Gypsies, our first priorities are always conformational correctness and exceptional temperament. We carefully select stallions that will complement our mare's attributes, and add to the quality of the breed.
Underhill Gypsies is owned and operated by myself, Helen Mishkin. As an artist who married an author, I've always nurtured a love for fantasy and fairy tales. Though my mother passed along her own enthusiasm for horses and riding, it was in the Gypsy Vanner horse that I found the perfect marriage of horses and magic. I admired them from afar until I was able to invest in my first Gypsy horse, our foundation mare. Her story-book beauty came hand in hand with keen intelligence and a gentleness I had never before experienced in a horse. She inspired a desire to further and better the breed, and to share the magic of the Gypsy horse.
