Impulse Farm

Impulse Farm, Gypsy vanners in Merrill, ME, operates in Aroostook County and the Bangor area.

Owner Valerie Elderedge has more than a decade of experience following national breed club guidelines and ensuring regular health screenings. The horses live in pasture-based herds with daily turnout and regular handling to support calm temperaments and strong bonds. Stalls include cushioned bedding and shelters that overlook wooded paddocks beside a seasonal stream.

Several horses have earned national show ribbons, and therapists in the region note their steady demeanor during guided sessions. Foals are raised alongside mares in open paddocks and receive early socialization to foster confidence. Valerie offers guidance on nutrition and hoof care to ensure families feel supported beyond the initial transition. With a focus on health, temperament, and a serene setting, their farm reflects a thoughtful approach to breeding Gypsy vanner horses.
