David Lincoln Dunbar

David was an adventurer, a kind, generous, loving man.  He loved 'chocolate' and horses; hence, the name of Chocolate Horse Farm! He was the grease in the wheels of this farm, the inspiration that wanted the world to know about this special breed, the Gypsy Vanner.  Not caring what it was called, he was kind and willing to talk to anyone with a question.  He sought to unite rather than divide, to encourage, to set an example that would cause others to believe in themselves....if he can do it, then, just maybe, so can I!  He approached his biggest challenge, his cancer journey, with the same energy and optimism as he lived his life. I am sure he is flying high with the Angels and smiling down on us waving us on .....with his smile and enthusiasm....yes, you can do it.  What ever that is.

Till we meet again.  Cheers.







Versatility!

Versatility ....is the perfect definition for the Gypsy Vanner Horse.  Though bred and used by the Travelling community overseas, they are so smart, there isn't much they cannot do.  Bonding so easily with their human companions, we are reminded of the Arabian Horse that slept in the Bedouin tents and provided them with an early warning system due to their keen eyesight.  The Gypsy is kind, willing, and very smart.  They can be seen at many state fairs, breed shows, and on the farm.
