In Loving Memory
Forever Loved & Never Forgotten
In Loving Memory . . .
In loving memory, we pay tribute to our wonderful Gypsy horses that have passed away. Each one was incredibly special to us and made significant contributions to our breeding program and were loved by many in the Gypsy Vanner world and beyond.
"Forever in our Hearts! "
WR Boo's Miss Q by Latcho
Miss Q was a champion since she was a yearling. She was the only offspring in existence by Latcho Drom X WR Hechicera. Both of these great foundation horses are now deceased, so there will never be another.
Miss Q carried their legacy triumphantly by winning 18 Grand Championships & 10 National Championships. Since winning the Two Year Old Fillies Futurity and has earned GVHS Year End High Point Championships every year 2012-2016.
It is with heavy heart that we lost this beautiful girl in August 2019. Her last offspring was a beautiful filly named after Barb's granddaughter SGV Onaia of Castlecomer.

WR Trillium
WR Trillium, the only daughter of the legendary Gypsy King, was an exceptional mare who produced multiple champions with various stallions, becoming the top champion-producing mare in the country. Her legacy is evident in every foal she has delivered. She earned the title of 2014 Reserve National Champion Producer and was the dam of the 2014 National Bred By Owner Champion, also securing the Produce of Dam title multiple times.
We took great pride in her involvement with the Healing With Horses Program at RIVER LANE RANCH in Edmonton, Canada.
Those eyes... With just one glance, they stir a profound beauty within.
Healing, nurturing, forgiving... utterly enchanting.
When you behold them, you might find yourself holding your breath, hoping for them to notice you and wishing they would come your way. And they will... for she was destined to be a healer.

SGV Cushti's Maximillian
Max, the sole son of Cushti Bok—the first Gypsy Vanner Stallion in the United States—demonstrated the excellence of his lineage by outperforming his peers as a weanling, yearling, and throughout his two to four-year-old stages. He garnered the title of 2014 National Bred By Owner Champion and ascended to 2015 National Grand Champion Gelding. Max shone in both Halter and Performance before venturing into Combined Driving, with Barbara Williamson steering and Bob Giles handling the whip.
As a splendid ambassador of his breed, Max, alongside Cowboy Bob, brought joy as 'Max the Magic Pony' during visits to libraries and nursing homes, enchanting both the elderly and the young.
His consistent kindness and playful spirit meant he was beloved by everyone he encountered.
