AAE welcomed Gypsy and her filly, Calico Girl, from the DreamCatcher Wild Horse and Burro Sanctuary in April of 2018. Gypsy and her filly, Calico Girl were quite the confident pair when they arrived. Gypsy was very laid back and interested in humans. She'd accept a rub on her forehead and neck, but she made clear it was on her terms (in a nice way). She was bossy with the other mares and foals, and Cali Girl aspired to be just like mom. Quite boldly, and only weeks old, she would push the other moms and foals off feed. They quickly made their way to their own paddock so the others could eat in peace.
Gypsy was captured as a yearling/long-yearling in the Calico Roundup in one of the Calico Mountain HMAs in NV in 2009/2010, so she was born 2008-ish. She was subsequently adopted as a long-yearling/two year old from the Broken Arrow (aka Indian Lakes) holding facility in Fallon, NV, then placed at DreamCatcher. Gypsy is a stout and dominant mare with a kind soul. After weaning her filly, she softened and became a most agreeable, sweet, and willing gal.
“Gypsy has a ton of potential, but she needs a person willing to give her time to build her confidence and earn her trust. We are happy to say that Gypsy found this special person.”
It was love at first sight. When her new mom saw her photo, she fell in love. When she met her, she loved her, but they were all a little concerned with how Gypsy would adapt. However, Gypsy blossomed under new mom's care. Gypsy’s new mom is a lifelong horsewoman with two other horses, one retired, and one getting closer to retirement. Her current riding horse is also a mustang. She is from Nevada, too, where Gypsy came from. Her new mom is calm, quiet, and confident and ever so patient, exactly what Gypsy needed to continue her growth. She also took Gypsy to a clinic with her favorite clinician, and Gypsy did so well, which reinforced her decision to adopt. Gypsy is her new mom's last horse, and she will be developed into a pleasure riding horse and primary riding horse when her current riding horse retires.
