Crown Darby

Lash, Romipen & “Crown Darby” Dennis Thompson, Gypsy Gold, the first GVH foals born in USA

Brown Tobiano Mare Foaled 1995 | GV00016F

Crown Darby was an amazing producer, producing foals like GG Versace and Cushti Bok’s Valley. She was heterozygous for tobiano and produced 31 foals throughout her life. She was one of the original 16 Gypsy Vanner horses imported to America. Darby lived until the ripe old age of 27 and is buried here on Fair Hill at Gypsy Gold. Darby partnered with her sister Dolly was exhibited in harness as a pair when they first arrived, and were instrumental in promoting the Gypsy Vanner horse in America.  They pulled the Vardo Wagon together at Equitana 1998 when the breed was introduced to America and was also Dennis’ personal riding horse.  She was an outstanding mare in every way and we are proud to carry on her legacy.
