Hello EcoGypsy (love the name!!)

 I have a toggenburg wether that is looking for a home but not sure if you are looking for a billy?  We also keep toggs and have a saanen who provides the milk for my soap business!
Love gypsy cobs, we go to Stow each year and I have to resist the urge to buy any  ;D

Hi, I'm new here too, and I love Gypsy cobs as well, fell in love with one at the Wickham horse fair, but the asking price was £20K, beautiful horse mind.  :wave:

Hi EG from South Lincolnshire. Not too far from you. Just have sheep, chooks, dogs and cats here(and a tiny 'rescued from the cat' baby rabbit that has now escaped from his little safe box and is hiding somewhere in my studio-Ah well at least he's not a gonner like I thought he'd be...)

Hi Pedwardine. Had a peek on your website, I love your sheep! I'm planning to have a few in the future.

You can visit anytime. Our sheepies love company. They will mob you though especially if you have treats.

Ecogypsy, he WAS a very good horse!  He had the most fantastic mane, that was black and white stripes, EVEN sized stripes, and had only ever been used for stud.  We saw three of his offspring there, also for sale, you couldn't miss them, all little clones of him!  Something very majestic and wild about gypsy cobs.  :)

Hi from a very sunny Cambridgeshire - we've got half a dozen goats - including a pair of half togg kids but since yesterday the boy is no longer entire! Also got a pair of Toggs from kja's mother's herd - and lovely animals they are too. I hope she can sort out a billy for you.
