How a Sassy Mini Horse Named Gypsy Is Changing Lives in North Texas

7/15/2025

Bob:
Well well well… look who finally slowed down long enough for their interview. Gypsy, it’s about time.
Gypsy:
Hi Bob! I was just doing a quick spin and checking on the toys. You never know when someone’s hidden something good in there.
Bob:
You and those toys. But let’s start at the beginning—you’ve had quite a life, haven’t you?
Gypsy:
Oh, you could say that. I was born to my beautiful sorrel mom, Brittany, and my striking black-and-white dad, Jody. I’ve got two older brothers, Prince and JR, and a little brother named Watch. But I gave everyone a scare when I got sick as a newborn—spent a whole week at the vet with my Mama (not to be confused with my new bestie, Mama Mia). Thankfully, I made it through, and came back with plenty of cha-ching energy!
Bob:
That explains the name--All Wrights Lil Miss Cha-Ching, straight from All Wright Farm.
Gypsy:
That’s me! Named after the vet bill and proud of it. I’ve always been the spunky one—running, spinning, stopping, and doing it all over again just for fun.

Bob:
And now you’re one of the stars here at STEPS With Horses. What’s your role these days?
Gypsy:
Oh, I love my job! I work in play therapy with the kids, and let me tell you—I’m all about the toys. I’m curious, energetic, and always up for a game. The kids feel safe around me, and I think they like that I’m a little goofy but still listen with my heart.
Bob:
You’ve got a gift, Gypsy. And you’re not just a hit with the little ones, right?
Gypsy:
Right again! The teenage girls from The Maples come out every week, and they love dolling me up—brushing my coat, giving me braids... I eat it up. Who wouldn’t want a fan club?
Bob:
Speaking of fans, I’ve noticed you’ve been sticking close to Mama Mia lately…
Gypsy:
She’s my best friend! She’s calm and sweet and makes me feel grounded—plus she lets me steal her hay sometimes. And Bob, don’t worry, I enjoy your company too… even if I give you a little sass now and then.
Bob:
You mean when you try to herd me like a sheepdog?
Gypsy:
It’s all in good fun. I’ve got to keep you humble. And those big horses? Please, I've dealt with llamas. I may be small, but I’ve been known to put a few in their place when they get too full of themselves.

Bob:
You do have a... commanding presence. What about when we do community events?
Gypsy:
Oh, those are my favorite. I love meeting new people—kids, adults, anyone who wants to say hi. I light up on outreach days. I'm extroverted, social, and always on the lookout for a new friend (or treat).
Bob:
Well, Gypsy, you’re one of a kind. Anything else you want folks to know?
Gypsy:
I may have started out small and sick, but now I’m full of life and ready to help others heal—one brush stroke, spin, or cuddle at a time. And if you’ve got a brush? We’re besties already.
Bob:
You heard her! If you love what Gypsy’s doing, you can support her by joining her Carrot Club and help fund her therapy work with kids, teens, and veterans. Join Gypsy's Carrot Club
Gypsy:
Or come work with me yourself! I’d love to be part of your healing journey. Start here to begin counseling
