New River Gypsy Vanners

New River Gypsy Vanners, Gypsy Vanners, Sparta, NC, in Alleghany County and the Blue Ridge Mountains near Winston-Salem, have been breeding horses with attention to health and temperament. Mechelle and Gerald Luffman have more than ten years of experience with the breed, participating in the Gypsy Cob and Drum Horse Association and following recommended health screening protocols.

Foals are raised in family paddocks and introduced early to handling, trail riding and exposure to farm animals. Several of their mares carry champion bloodlines abroad and their horses are known for steady dispositions in both pasture and arena.

The farm overlooks gentle hills and streams, giving foals ample space to play and socialize in a calm environment. Daily turnout, tailored feeding plans and a local veterinarian ensure each horse maintains peak health. They are available to discuss their program with prospective owners and can share references from other families in the region.
