On November 12-15, 2009, GHA attended its second Massachusetts Equine Affaire.

Seven member farms brought 22 horses: Blarney Stone Acres (NJ), C Spots Farm (MA), the McClarin farm (NY), Painted Hills Gypsy Horses (MA), Run Gypsy Run (MI), Snow Eden Gypsies (MA), and West Hill Ranches (NY). In addition, Karin Janin of Horses of Wisdom, Debbi Howard of Running Wind Farms, and Susan Pierpoint of Creek Run Ranch stopped by and helped out.

GHA would like to thank all for the effort and expense of coming and for the spirit of cooperation, helpfulness, cordiality, and professionalism which ruled throughout. Special thanks to Tess Marshall and Sue Styx, who assembled and disassembled the GHA booth and who were available to talk to the many visitors.

Please enjoy these photos of the event. Many more are available on the Gypsy Horse Association’s presence on Facebook and on its website at www.gypsyhorseassociation.org.
