All the King's Horses
Quality Gypsy Vanners and European Brabants
Along with our mature horses we work hard to breed and select young horses that exhibit the qualities we are looking for in the herd to raise up as future producers. Our young horses are raised up slowly, spending their time on pasture and getting to be horses with light work on ground manners, obstacle training, and exposure to some of the things they will experience in their lives as members of the herd. Keep an eye on these girls as we expect big things from them in the years to come!
In 2021, we had the joy of retaining our first homebred Brabant fillies. Dehan had been eagerly awaiting a solid black filly from his first ever mare, Sequoia, and 50% filly Pinecone fit the bill. We also chose to keep AKH Olive, a daughter of two imports, after seeing her older sister maturing just the way we like them. Our next keeper filly came in 2023 with AKH Meliae, the first filly out of one of the imports we selected during our trip to Belgium. She is not only special in a sentimental way, but is an incredible representation of the breed in her build and type.

Gypsy horses are much easier to find in the US than high percentage Brabants, meaning that there is a lot more genetic diversity available when making breeding decisions. Our Gypsy herd is growing primarily through retaining solid fillies from our mares. AKH Jester is my dream filly out of my first ever Gypsy mare, Aurora Acres Saoirse, and our original herd sire FHF Shot o Whiskey before he was retired from breeding. We are proud of the next generation of AKH Gypsies!
