May 2022
NOTE!! Youth Fund Auction starting soon!

The GVHS is quickly approaching 10,000 registered Gypsy Vanners.  This is a major milestone for the breed and the organization. There will be an online auction to award a member the registration number GV10000 to be used to register their horse. 

The auction will run from noon May 15 to noon on June 15  using a web-based service, 32Auctions. Notices with the link will be sent out via Constant Contact email and posted on the GVHS Facebook page with periodic reminders up to the close of the auction.

The winner must use the GV10000 registration number to register a 2022 or older Gypsy Vanner, and application for registration sent in by December 31, 2022. The horse must have a sire and dam registered in the GVHS regular studbook. 

Auction proceeds will go into the Youth Fund.
