Check out our history of years in the world of dogs (since 1980) with a visit to:

 

 

 

 

We have been quite active on Facebook during 2011 so there are quite a few picture albums there to look at if you care to look up Melanie Block....some are only available to view if we are "friends"

 

During 2010 the focus of our program switched from "gypsy pony" which tends to run in the 12 hand tall range it seems (from breeders in Britain) to going forward with helping to create the "mini gypsy" bringing in more miniature horse, Shetland and small Welsh pony.  We offer hosted chat groups for discussion of the future of these small equines on Yahoo groups "gypsy pony" as well as on Facebook.

 

Spring 2010 foals:  Here's an album (among others) at Webshots photo sharing:

"Cob" has forever been used to refer to a heavy type with mixed "hot" and "cold" blood horse ancestors.  Please see our page, "A Cob?"

 

 

 

 

 

Our very favorite and inspiring piece of video features Andreas Helgstrand at the WEG 2006 Freestyle Dressage Final winning performance on the mare "Blue Hors Mantine'--they dance together divinely and the horse was only 9 years old:

 

 

And for an amusing comparison routine:

 

Here's an Arabian slant:

 

And yet another great youtube video comparing Western vs English styles:

 

As long as you're watching some western riding talent, you better check Stacy Westfall's videos with reining pattern excellence no bits, no bridle, no nuthin'

Our big young stallion Tibbs Conghal, who was our first gypsy horse in 2007, was sold in February 2008 to Golden Link gypsy horse farm in Ohio:

 

 

And our little Lexington, "BoHo's Cold Fusion" who is more than a couple hands shorter than the Tibbs horse, displays his friendly nature in this video (unfortunately the camera man had technical difficulties):
