| Filming has wrapped, and the editing has begun. Early cuts of the movie look fantastic and Odd Job Bob is a great representative of what the temperament of a Gypsy Vanner should be. He and two of our other horses, Mariah and EBV Chase, spent several months with Tommie Turvey preparing for the movie. Mariah was a great double for Bob; she even rode alongside a moving train without batting an eye. Check out what’s new with the movie at The Greening of Whitney Brown
THE GREENING OF WHITNEY BROWN follows the misadventures of ‘Whitney Brown’ (SAMMI HANRATTY), a privileged and popular Philadelphia teenager whose world is upended when her parents, ‘Henry’ (AIDAN QUINN) and ‘Joan’ (BROOKE SHIELDS), experience sudden economic problems that necessitate a family move to Whitney’s grandparents’ old farm in the country. There, far from her dizzying world of shallow girlfriends, endless parties and school pressures, she finds a new best pal: ‘Odd Job Bob’, a beautiful and spirited Gypsy Vanner horse owned by her new neighbor ‘Dusty’ (KRIS KRISTOFFERSON) — a crusty rancher who turns out to be her estranged grandfather. Through her new relationships with Odd Job Bob, Dusty and her parents, Whitney rediscovers what it means to respect not only nature and her family, but also someone very special she had almost lost touch with: herself.

| We had a beautiful day and a large turnout for our Gypsy Vanner trail ride. With 8 Vanners in total, we certainly caught some attention from passing riders. It was great to see some of our foals return, all grown up and under saddle, and to enjoy the wonderful scenery in the Brandywine Conservancy. With the ride over, and horses put away, we premiered the first cut of the movie to a well receiving crowd. We hope to have more trail rides once the weather warms up.
