Quiet winter mornings in the barn remind us how grateful we are for the horses and people who walk this path with us.

To all our friends and partners around the globe, thank you for sharing our love for these extraordinary Gypsy horses.

May your holidays be cozy, joyful, and full of the special moments that matter most.

It is with great sadness to announce our Arabian "Thunder" just crossed the rainbow bridge. Impressive lineage, stunning movement and gorgeous conformation -- he was a registered true Arabian with both Polish and Eyptian heritage. But to us, he was just Thunder.

In typical fashion, it ironically was thundering hard but the sun remained just before his passing. We believe it was a sign.

Thunder loved life at Windkiss Ranch. He had many mare friends throughout his life with us but his bond with KATE was one-of-a-kind togetherness (our rescued broodmare shown within).

Thunder had just turned 23 last month.
Run free Thunder (registered name Shamon El Bey). We will miss you.

True heartfelt love and thanks to Mona Blackburn our dear friend for being there for him. And thank you Vera for always caring for him.

The turnout for youth classes at the GypsyLive Congress show was off the charts! For example, the Youth Mares class had 14 entries, wow! We would like to thank Tonyia Foy and Spring Branch Stables once again for their generous sponsorshup at the Congress show, which made all youth classes FREE for participants! If you are thinking of sponsoring an event, please consider sponsoring the youth classes, we would love to keep buliding on this momentum and to contribute to the future of our breed! To learn more about sponsoring the youth division at the GypsyLive Georgia National Fair Show, please message me for details.

Here is a great video clip from a youth interview at the Congress show featuring Sophie Foy and Savanna McClung. With wonderful young ladies like these setting a great example, the future of the Gypsy Vanner breed looks bright!

Dear Friends, Vicki Cooper Nourse and Will Nourse have been tirelessly working on their incredible dog training and grooming facility in Texas (Playstaytion Pet Resort & Training) which had taken them away from the show world of Gypsy Horses. Not any longer…

All the way from Ireland Scott Sarkozi of Windkiss Ranch located a newly born foal who looked like the equine version of Phantom (of the Opera). His markings are iconic! Together with a unique look, his movement is fluid, smooth, and breathless. He possesses significant height at nearly 16 hands, along with a wonderful temperament, and given that he is only 2 years old, his future potential shows no boundaries.
Phantom was the future “secret weapon” of sorts for the upcoming gypsy horse shows of Windkiss Ranch. Now Vicki and Will will have the exciting adventure to take him on the path for his future success!

We are thrilled for the Nourses’. Join us in congratulating Vicki and Will on the arrival of their new boy in the coming week.

JOIN ME IN CONGRATULATING Clarice Tommy Nazworth......
All of our horses are exceptionally special in their own individual ways – especially the ones born here with us at Windkiss Ranch. There is one c**t, however, born earlier this year who has captured hearts (even literally on his shoulder markings) who beyond words of description – WIN Oz’s Bold Ruler (aka “OB”). He is a prince with big shoes to fill in his future – though he does not know it yet. Hopefully to remain a stallion, he exudes the traits of his sire and dam – grace, poise, elegance, confidence, strength, love, respect, beauty, and total charisma. Words just can’t adequately describe his remarkable attributes which are a combination of his famous sire and multi-national champion dam. He’s a brave boy with total trust in his people – no fright, no fear – he is his daddy’s boy.

So who is he? He is the offspring of two exceptional horses owned by Windkiss! OB was born in January 2024 -- the pairing of the late GG Oz the Wizard (“Oz”) and gorgeous mare SGV Maybelline’s Lou Sky (“Sky”). Given this breeding, OB is even more special --he is just priceless. He is a c**t who we are confident will grow into becoming the royal select -- Honor of Fame / Excellence circles and beyond, in the future. We are so very proud of him even at such a young age.

It’s a bitter sweet moment, actually. Windkiss personally selected the ideal client/friend with whom we know will bring the best out in him through her talented, gentle ‘horse whisper’ ways; but most importantly, she adores OB beyond words, and we suspect will be partners forever!

Everyone, please join us in congratulating Clarice Nazworth and follow her for updates. We love you and thank you Clarice for being as equally passionate and loving of the animals – especially the Windkiss Ranch Gypsy foals. Note to all, this is Clarice’s second foal she now owns from Windkiss – she purchased WIN Rebel’s Reign last year – again selected among dozens who wanted to purchase Reign.
Thankfully in Florida where we can come visit, Clarice, you know we are always here if you ever need. Meanwhile, we will sit back and watch our exceptional bred babies, blossom under your guided, gentle and loving, talented care.
Best to you all.

WIN CHIEF JUSTICE (gvhs #10,000) is the iconic image of his sire, formerly owned by Windkiss Ranch, the gorgeous BWG The Arbitrator by Cass aka Denali (pictured below) and Chief's presence exudes the beauty, energy and pep of his dam, SGV Maybelline's Lou Sky (aka Sky) (pictured below) - owned by Windkiss Ranch

Chief has found his perfect home with Amanda Burcar-Annis and Wendy Annis in MN. This is a long overdue announcement because Chief has been with this dynamic owner(s) since May 2024. We know they love him and enjoy him. Congratulations to both. He is a handsome boy!

THANK YOU all incredible friends and followers (near and far) who admired the true majestic strength and beauty of GG Oz the Wizard (“Oz”). We cannot express the appreciation we have for so many of you who offered words of love, condolence, and support for Oz. There are no words for me to express our heartfelt appreciation. We all have had a difficult month and 2024 year. It has been eerily sad and quiet without Oz with us. He sure was majestic to say the least! Such a presence. Frankly, one cannot go one day without shedding tears. But I want to say THANK YOU ALL who commented and reached out to us personally. You have no idea how much it means to us! He was so admired and cared for even after his forced retirement. Thank you all.
So herein, I am sharing a photo. Never to be forgotten and always near. We will be burying Oz on our property overlooking the fields in a very prominent spot with a granite bench engraved with his photo and name. Oz is FINALLY free. Too soon. We have all been quiet in the face of wicked. Let Oz Rest in Peace.
