SFGH “The Big Dipper”
2016 GVHS Registered
PSSM Negative
Dipper is the horse everyone dreams of owning. He is a real unicorn in every sense of the word and we don’t use that term loosely. Dipper is 6 year old registered Gypsy Vanner gelding that is nothing short of perfect. From his looks, personality, high quality breeding and years of professional training, Dipper is one you’ll never regret buying! Dipper does it all, from western and English riding, driving, jumping, dressage etc. and he’s even been as a lesson horse and you may even notice Dipper peering into the windows of a local hospice centers where he was used in a therapy program. He is the perfect addition to any family and is suitable for any level of rider from the ages of 5 to 85. We are honored to have had the pleasure of working with this amazing boy for the past 6 months and in that 6 months we have thrown everything but the kitchen sink at him and he has excelled exceptionally! Did I mention that he’s a true gentleman on the ground and he has a puppy dog personality? Since Dipper was born he has been groomed to be the best.
Dipper was raised by a premier Gypsy Vanner Breeding Program in Michigan, SerenityFarm GypsyHorses. Christina Riggs knew when she bred her choice mare Lillie to Suede, this foal would be special.
From Christina - “Dipper is the perfect gelding. Perfect for any rider. He has outstanding bloodlines, excellent conformation plus an calm, easy going temperment. Since his birth, he has been in the show-ring, doing Demos, Nursing Home Visits, and many Community events. He has been handled my kids his entire life. Dipper loves people. He is a fun and trustworthy partner with excellent training from day one! “
Christina went on to show Dipper most of his early years where his resume continued to build!

In the arena, Dipper is a dream with a rocking chair lope and a smooth sitting trot, he is truly one you will never want to get off! He will WTC with ease and transitions off voice commands. He has all the buttons a person could ever want or need! He is simple to maneuver and easy for any level of rider, he takes care of his rider first and foremost. Lope around on a loose rein or ask him to collect under English tack, he will do it with ease. Dipper has been used to give youth and beginner lessons both English and Western! He is a solid and sturdy mount for a timid or beginner rider that is lacking confidence. A confident rider can take him out and jump a 2’ course and then throw a beginner on him to cool him off.
Dipper is accustomed to all types of trails and terrain! From riding next to a busy state highway or parading through town hall in a parade! He is sure footed when it comes to rocky terrain and slippery slopes.
