I have no judgement upon breeders who cross their Appaloosas, it is my own personal goal to improve my horses blood line with increased Foundation blood. It is the history (many versions) that fascinates me and the only competition I have is with myself.
Breeding a horse involves following/studying other proven professionals, supporting the relevant associations, establishing a breeding plan and using stock supported by their competition titles. Understanding the genetics and the pedigrees that support the future off-spring.
One of our goals at Redheart Appaloosas is to improve our Appaloosa x Appaloosa blood line. The percentages of Foundation Blood is not the only criteria considered, although in doing so we are creating a unique blood line and gene pool here in the UK.
Studying the young stock here at Redheart Appaloosas (as they develop), it is quite clear they all have a certain presence in statue. This is a great quality to have and so may it continue. We are fortunate to have imported two quality mares, not only have they proved themselves under the judge’s eye, their quality genes have been “stamped” on their off spring. This is very important as they continue to produce a future line of full/half-brother and sisters. Make no mistake, using the same Stallion has also contributed to the present stocks quality.
Planning and developing my breeding plan has been a priority for a few years…..looking for a quality homozygous Stud colt with high Foundation Blood, a clear panel of genetic results and excellent confirmation etc. has not been an easy task.
In due course, we will be delighted to introduce you to our future potential REDHEART STALLION, when he has safely arrived here in the UK.
At this present time I can confidently say, we have found what we have looked for, I have “figured out” all the numbers and to my delight they add up…….
