We are honored to be part of your journey, and we are proud of what we’ve built together.

The standard here is high because of you.

To our followers and friends: thank you for being part of this community. For cheering us on, sharing our posts, sending messages, celebrating wins, and supporting us through the hard work behind the scenes. You are a real part of what makes Starfire feel like more than a program—you make it feel like family.

And to the horses—always. Thank you for your honesty, your effort, and the way you teach us to be better every single day.

🌟 Starfire’s Million Dollar Angel 🌟

Our little secret… with an angel face and a pedigree to match.

Sired by The Five Card Stud (Dice), out of The Victoria Secret Mare, and blessed with that near-perfect head — big eyes, tiny tippy ears — plus the sweetest temperament that makes you exhale the second you’re standing with her. She’s sweet, confident, and quietly exceptional.

Owned by Gypsy Allure Ranch

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐦 represented Gypsy Allure Ranch at Nationals and showcased the incredible versatility of the Gypsy Vanner. After spending her early years as a broodmare, Gypsy Allure gave her the green light to stretch her legs in the show ring—and she’s exceeded every expectation. Elegance personified, Charm floats around the arena with that soft, happy forward that makes you smile every single lap.

This season, trainers assistant, Tanielle Vintere piloted Charm to a beautifully well-rounded Nationals: Top 5 in Dressage Intro, plus strong Top 10 placings across many divisions including Dressage Suitability, English and Western Pleasure, Hunter, Trail and Ranch. From rail to trail to dressage, she proved—again—how truly adaptable the Vanner breed is. We’re so proud of this mare’s broodmare-to-showhorse arc and excited to see where 2026 leads.

Owned by Ranch

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐃𝐞𝐥𝐮𝐱𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐞 or “Deluxe” as she is called by her many fans is truly Elle Douglas’ heart horse as well as a champion-producing cornerstone of Gypsy Glory Ranch’s broodmare band. This season we changed the script—giving this nine-year-old super-mom a sabbatical from the nursery pasture to strut her stuff in the ring—and she proved you can be a world class mama and have an incredible show career. Deluxe loves the hunter classes, Freestyle, and Western Dressage Suitability, and she clicked beautifully with our youngest team member, Valentina Avery (Elle’s granddaughter). A favorite memory was watching Valentina show Deluxe to Open Reserve Champion Mare at Colorado GypsyFest, then take Top 10 in a big, competitive Western Dressage Suitability at Nationals.

At the 2025 Gypsy Vanner Nationals, Deluxe delivered a banner week: National Champion Freestyle Riding (with comedic assists from Kelsey Hulbert—“the world’s funniest cow”), Reserve National Champion in All Age Ranch Trail and Open SR Western Pleasure, plus Top placings across English Pleasure, Hunter Under Saddle, Senior Mares, and more; Valentina also earned a Top 5 Youth Mares with her. True to her nature, Deluxe is the mom of our show team—warm, protective, always tuned into her rider, she is a true joy to show. We’re excited for next season in the performance pen and planning to flush a couple of embryos, so her next generation of champions can join Team Starfire in the years ahead.

𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲’𝘀 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗜𝗻

Owned by GypsyGlory Ranch

𝐌𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐲 was bred here at Starfire—by multi time Hall of Fame stallion 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐮𝐝 and out of our Hall of Fame mare RR Sonadora—and he’s been a ranch favorite since the day he hit the ground. His nickname has a sweet origin story: as a weanling he was gifted to our ranch manager Mike, for Christmas. Mike was born and raised in Cuba and came to the states in his early 20's. He used television to help him perfect his english and he especially enjoyed quoting commercials. His favorite was a historic and well known commercial for Life cereal where the tagline is “Mikey likes it” which turned into the nickname for his favorite c**t. The following year, Mike and Mikey went on to win the first of many Grand Champion Gelding titles as a yearling at the FHC West show in South Jordan, UT. Eventually Mike made the decision to let Mikey join Gypsy Glory Ranch —bringing him back full-time to the Starfire show circuit.
Today, Mikey is the definition of all-around and all-heart. He’ll try anything—cowboy mounted shooting, breed demos at the county fair, trail trials, dressage— when he’s not racking up the wins at breed shows. He’s our steady rock for starting babies, happily ponying youngsters like a pro and always the first to volunteer for an adventure. This season was extra special: Valentina Avery, granddaughter of GGR’s owner and the youngest member of the Starfire Team, took his reins for the first time, and together they earned a well deserved Reserve National Champion Youth Ranch Riding on a super-technical pattern. We’re unbelievably proud of this pair and excited to keep building their partnership for next season.

Owned by Meadowbrook Gypsies.

𝗗𝗲𝗷𝗮 lights up every arena she steps into and touches every heart she meets. Owned and adored by Meadowbrook Gypsies in Vermont, she joined the Starfire Team for the 2024 and 2025 seasons partnered with Starfire apprentice Kelsey Hulbert—a duo that showed, again, just how special the Gypsy Vanner is. In between welcoming newcomers to the breed at fairs and breed demos and helping first-time youth and amateur riders navigate their first show ring adventures, Deja stacked up some serious accolades over the past two seasons: 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑻𝒊𝒕𝒍𝒆𝒔 in Ranch Riding, Classical and Western Dressage, Halter along with a haul of Top placings across ranch rail, Western/English pleasure, trail, hunter under saddle, and suitability—true all-around brilliance.
What makes her unforgettable is the joy she brings to every job—ears up, heart open, always game. We’re endlessly grateful to Meadowbrook Gypsies for entrusting this gem of a mare to our program these past two years and for letting us share in her magic. Deja has headed back home to Vermont to continue her incredible story—expecting a couple of foals next year who are sure to follow in her champion hoofsteps—and to keep shining with her family. She’s one of a kind, and exactly what dreams are made of.

𝗚𝗚𝗥 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗼 𝗥𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝗲
Owned by GypsyAllure Ranch

𝗦𝗼𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 is elegance personified—proudly owned by Gypsy Allure Ranch and bred by our longtime friends and clients at Ranch. It comes as no surprise that she is by the legendary stallion, 𝑺𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒇𝒊𝒓𝒆’𝒔 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑭𝒊𝒗𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒓𝒅 𝑺𝒕𝒖𝒅 and out of GGR’s prized broodmare, 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒂𝒅𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒄 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒆. She stole our hearts the moment she was born; at just 24 hours old I remember meeting her and telling Elle, this filly is a once-in-a-lifetime one. She’s been proving it ever since—from her first National title as a yearling (2023) to her first season under saddle this year. Started under saddle mid-season , she walked into Nationals with a light schedule and poured her heart into every stride, bringing home a National title in the Novice English Pleasure out of a 15 horse deep class, plus added strong placings across halter and western—pure class in every step.
Beyond the ribbons, Solange is the kindest soul we know—bold and powerful in the ring, soft and nurturing at home. She’ll rest her muzzle on your cheek, lean her head into your chest, and somehow make the whole world quiet. In 2026, she’ll stretch into more classes and divisions as she matures, continuing to represent Gypsy Allure Ranch—and the Gypsy Vanner breed—with grace, heart, and that unmistakable “yes” to every question we ask.
