SD & Clononeen Gypsies, some of the finest in the world

England: Steve Down of SD Farm –  The Down’s Romany history goes back 300 years. They strive to breed traditional Gypsy Cobs that are true to type with thick bone, loaded silky feathers, small sweet heads, small pricked ears, good high tail set, etc. They have ventured into a partnership with West River Gypsy Horse Farm in the US under the name SD West Farm. Some of the Down stallions will be based in the United States while others will remain in the UK. The Downs desire to share their wealth of experience and quality Gypsy horses with those in the US and around the world. Some of the stallions listed on their website include: S.D Tyson, S.D Woolly Mammoth, S.D. JACK, S.D. 007.

England: Clononeen Farm – Formerly located in Ireland, Clononeen Farm is now based in Farnham, Surrey. These well known gypsy horse breeders strive to provide the best stock with straight forward information. They present the horses honestly to clients and let clients decide from there if a particular gypsy horse will suit their own needs and goals. Their philosophy sums up some impressive dedication to the Gypsy Horse breed: ” We only win if you do.” They have a strong belief in DNA testing and are excited that it will help make it increasingly difficult for unscrupulous breeders to take advantage of the lack of written records by Gypsies and Travelers in the past.

Clononeen’s fine Gypsy stallions include: Clononeen Hustler, Clononeen Darrig, Clononeen Double Tumble, Clononeen Wren Boy and  Clononeen Tumbleweed.
