Chocolate Horse Farm

Chocolate Horse Farm raises Gypsy Vanner horses on a 50-acre property in Mt. Vernon, Missouri, situated in the Ozarks region between Joplin and Springfield. Carol Dunbar and her husband established the farm after being captivated by the breed during time spent in Great Britain, where they first encountered these horses in the countryside before bringing their program stateside.

The farm's approach centers on deliberate, low-volume breeding. Rather than producing large numbers of foals, the focus is on careful sire and dam selection, with each horse receiving extensive groundwork before a harness or saddle is ever introduced. Training is oriented primarily toward driving, honoring the discipline for which Gypsy vanners were historically developed, though the horses are also worked across other disciplines.

Carol's stated goal is to match each Gypsy Vanner horse to the right owner based on the horse's abilities and the buyer's experience level — a philosophy that shapes both how horses are trained and how placements are made. Those looking for Gypsy Vanner horses for sale in Missouri will find a small, relationship-focused operation that has been bringing imported bloodlines to the Ozarks for well over a decade.
