Welcome to our
exotic animal ranch!
"The Sky is the
Limit Ranch" raises
a wide variety of
exotic animals from
A to Z, spots to
stripes.
We also breed, raise
and sell Gypsy
Horses, which
includes the
Warmbloods, Drum
Horse, Shires and
Clydesdales and also
miniature horses.
Last, we breed and
raise Siberian
Huskies and Yorkshire Terriers.
The birth of
any animal is a
breathtaking
experience.
Nature has a
miraculous way of
presenting a new
life. Everyone
is amazed by the way
the different
animals intermingle.
A happy environment
and lots of tender
loving care make for
a peaceful and
serene setting.
The horse is an
archetypal symbol
which will always
find ways to stir
deep and moving
ancestral memories
in every human
being. While
they are decades
from challenging
traditional American
breeds for
dominance, the
beautiful European
horses of the
ancient Gypsy
culture are rapidly
gaining recognition
and respect among
horse lovers.
The lore of gypsy
horses holds that
they were bred not
only to pull with
stamina but to be
pets, babysitters,
and even guard
horses for the Gypsy
families.
The Gypsies call
them "colored
horses". The
breed includes
English Shire,
Clydesdale, Irish
Draft, Dales Pony
and Fell Pony.
Some think the
Friesian was in the
mix, though there is
not general
agreement on its
contribution.
The story of the
Gypsy Horses is as
mysterious as the
colorful Gypsy
culture that created
it.
The Drum horse is
extremely rare, with
very few being
raised anywhere in
the world.
They are generally a
mix of gypsy horses,
and Shire or
Clydesdale horses,
with the occasional
Irish Draft or Dutch
Warmblood. The
most desirable cross
is the Gypsy Horse
Shire or Clydesdale
crosses; This
preserves the
feathering which is
so desired. A
British Drum Horse
is basically a big
Gypsy Horse or a
Colored Shire Horse.
These horses are
used by the British
Regimental Calvary
for parades and
events, to
carry the drummer
and 2 solid sliver
kettle drums.
They are generally
over 16.2 hands
tall. A Drum
Horse must have an
exceptional
disposition. |
