Our Family of Therapy Horses
The Gypsy Horse breed, also known as Irish Cob, is a type of domestic horse from Ireland. Gypsy horses are ideal for therapeutic and social exercises because of their amicable personalities. They tend to have a gentle, willing, and tranquil temperament. We at Gypsy Manor Farm are one of the few locations in the Carolinas that have this particular breed of horse. Our farm consists of 4 happy, healthy Gypsy horses.
