“GYPSY GOLD HORSE FARM” – Ocala

Welcome to the world of the Gypsy Vanner, a horse breed characterized by its powerful build, distinctive feathering, and unique charm. Famed for their striking presence and gentle nature, Gypsy Vanners have captivated the hearts of horse lovers worldwide.
Their flowing manes, plush feathering on their lower legs, and eye-catching coat colors set them apart from other breeds, while their strength and amiable disposition add to their appeal. Gypsy Vanners are known for their gentle, docile temperament. They are often described as kind, willing, and versatile horses, adaptable to different situations. They are intelligent, personable, and very friendly, making them great companions and family horses.

The Gypsy Vanner breed traces its origins back to the mid-20th century, a creation of the Romany Gypsies of Great Britain. These people led a nomadic lifestyle, necessitating horses capable of pulling their heavy wagons, traditionally known as ‘vardo.’ Laden with belongings and families, these wagons required a horse breed that was strong, sturdy, and had significant endurance.

We will have a 2-hour farm tour starting with an informative lecture that introduces the breed and its history. Followed by a guided walking tour of the farm where you meet the animals that call Gypsy Gold home.

In the history of the Big Bands, The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra is recognized as one of the all-time best swing orchestras in the world. With the collaboration of Paul Weston, Axel Stordahl and Sy Oliver, Tommy Dorsey created superb arrangements for his feverish dance tunes or romantic ballads that remain immortal today. Over the years The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra musicians have been the masters of creating ‘mood’ with their sentimental favorites or the upbeat tempos that got the world dancing. Frank Sinatra joined Tommy Dorsey in early 1940. Frank Sinatra’s career literally exploded with the help of Dorsey and in turn, it was Sinatra’s smooth vocals that propelled The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra to a new level of popularity! He was with The TDO until September 1942 when he embarked on his remarkable solo career.

“Stardust,” “Night and Day,” “Marie,” “Song of India,” and “I’ll Never Smile Again,” are only a few of the songs immortalized by the brilliant combination of The Tommy Dorsey Orchestra and their singer Frank Sinatra … And now, this legendary Big Band, led by the excellent Jeff Bush, tours America to honor the magic of this incomparable team.
