CH Gypsy Supreme
Proud, beautiful, versatile and athletic, CH Gypsy Supreme won multiple world championships in the open, ladies, amateur and junior divisions. A brilliant performer and affectionate ambassador for his breed, the flashy gelding was voted the People’s Choice World Champion for the Decade of the 1990s.
He won his first title as a three-year-old in 1990. Gypsy Supreme also won numerous Ladies Five-Gaited Gelding Championship titles through 1997, among many other awards.
With his stall window overlooking the entrance to the Hall of Champions, Gypsy Supreme became one of the most photographed horses at the Kentucky Horse Park.
*CH is a special symbol added to an American Saddlebred’s name after they become a world champion.
