The farm

Alpacas, fiber, and a distinctive horse-farm history

Dancing Horse Farm is a family-run farm in Burlington County. Before alpacas became a central part of the operation, the farm trained Lipizzans—the white horses associated with the Spanish Riding School. The Gleason family has now raised alpacas for more than 20 years, specializing in Full Peruvian Huacayas in multiple colors.

The farm describes fiber quality as the focus of its breeding program. Animals from its foundation herd have competed at major Alpaca Owners Association-certified shows, while fleece from the herd is spun into yarn and sold alongside other alpaca goods.

Farm hours, tour dates, admission prices, store hours, and animals offered for sale can change. Confirm the current details with Dancing Horse Farm before traveling.

Farm-specific answers

Questions visitors ask

Can I stop in without an appointment?

Regular visits are offered by appointment, while advertised open-farm days and special events have their own dates and hours. Check the farm's event page or contact it before making the trip.

Is this only an alpaca farm?

No. Alpacas and fiber production are central to the current operation, but Dancing Horse Farm also has a long history with Lipizzan horses. Published tour descriptions also mention Babydoll sheep.

Does the farm sell products made from its own alpacas?

Yes. The farm says it spins fiber from its animals into yarn and features that yarn in its store. It also sells alpaca apparel, accessories, and gift items.

Are alpacas available for sale?

Yes. The farm maintains alpaca sales and herdsire listings and says it commonly has additional animals available that are not displayed on the website.

Where should I look for newly announced farm events?

Use the farm's event page and Facebook page for announced tours, open houses, and seasonal activities. Confirm the details with the farm because schedules are weather-dependent and can change.

Planning your visit

If the tour schedule does not fit

Dancing Horse Farm is not presented as an everyday drop-in attraction. Visits are tied to appointments, guided-tour dates, and periodic public events. Travelers working around a particular weekend can compare other alpaca farms in New Jersey, including farms with different tour schedules, public hours, and reservation requirements.

This farm also combines visitor activities with Huacaya breeding, fiber production, Lipizzan horses, and livestock sales. Visitors looking for a different type of experience—such as a small alpaca-only visit, a dedicated fiber shop, or another working breeding farm—can use the nationwide alpaca farm directory to search beyond New Jersey.
