Chocolate Horse Farm

Chocolate Horse Farm, a gypsy vanner breeder in Mt. Vernon, MO, is located in Lawrence County and the Ozark Plateau near Springfield. Carol Dunbar has more than a decade of experience raising these gentle horses and holds memberships in national equine registries, ensuring that each foal receives thorough health screening.

Stallions and mares share spacious paddocks with access to shelter and seasonal turnout, and early handling supports confident, well-mannered dispositions. Foals benefit from quiet barn settings and daily interaction, helping them adapt to both trail riding and family environments. Several foals have placed in regional shows, reflecting careful attention to gait and carriage.

The farm’s roots in traditional breeding practices blend selective lineage planning with balanced nutrition, resulting in sturdy conformation and the breed’s signature feathering. Families and trainers often note the calm temperament and strong work ethic displayed by Chocolate Horse Farm horses.
