About Us

We are Brian & Mary Beth Wherry, owners and breeders of the Gypsy Vanner Horse. We chose our farm name because we feel these horses really are magical, even more so when the move. We currently own one Gypsy Vanner Horse, a 1999 mare named Rawnie. She is everything we believe the breed should be - smart, willing, athletic, friendly, well conformed and well feathered.

My first introduction to the Gypsy Vanner Horse was at a show in KY in 2001. There my sister and I met Dennis & Cindy Thompson of Gypsy Gold Farm, who had their stallion The Gypsy King there for the expo. It was love at first sight. I knew then I would have one for my own.

In 2003, I decided to purchase an embryo of my choosing from Gypsy Gold Farm. I had visit the farm in November 2002 and had picked out the combination I wanted, Rose and Cushti Bok. My baby was bred in May and I waited with baited breath for its birth.

In November 2003, I got the opportunity of a lifetime - a mare named Rawnie came for sale from Bit A Both Farm, a breeder of the Gypsy Vanner and friends of mine. As I had admired her from the first moment I saw her, I couldn't believe this opportunity. I flew from VA to FL to complete my purchase in December.

In April 2004, my embryo was born - a colt named Stormy. Although extremely pleased with him, I was not looking for a colt, especially one that was a half-brother to my mare. Stormy was sold to Gabi Lourdermilk of Equusloco in CO.

Rawnie is now the star of Magic in Motion Farms. We are extremely proud of all her foals and can't wait to breed her to Pelton Vanners D'Jango Jazz in 2008!

My husband Brian is a profession painter, he is owner of Universal painting. I do web design and maintenance, as well as enjoying my mare. We are located in Wildwood FL. Keep checking back, we have another mare in mind that we just might end up buying eventually!
