At Gypsy Gold Horse Farm near Ocala, you’ll spend about an hour with more than 30 Gypsy Vanner horses, mares, foals, stallions, and donkeys. Guides such as Taylor explain the breed’s story, animal care, pregnancy, and farm life. Petting the horses is part of the experience.
“Such a great experience. Got to see some beautiful horses. Learned alot and helped out a farm that deserves it!”
At Cheyne Ranch in Oviedo, you’ll meet miniature horses, ponies, large horses, bunnies, goats, chickens, and a pig. Feed and groom the animals, take a few horses for a walk, then enjoy a short hand-led horse or pony ride for ages 24 months through 21 years.
“Very nice, the tour was short but very to the point. Would definitely go again. It did rain which kinda sucked but they helped to get us out.”
