The Class of 2021 – FOUR WEEKS PRIOR TO FOALING

In conjunction with Farm & Stable Supplies for supporting the Appaloosa Horse Club (ApHC) UK  2021 Photo Competition. Thank you 🙂

Let us go back to November 2019 when we stabled our 5 mares through the winter months under at least 11 hours of artificial light, come early February 2020, our mares were cycling and obviously in season. We collected semen from our stallion and artificially inseminated the mares.

At their 14–16-day scan, the Vet was able to confirm the mares were pregnant and by the size of the embryo’s we could work out what date the mares ovulated. From this date, we worked out the estimated date of their foaling due dates.

From the time of conception, the mares lived a normal life out in the field within the herd. During the third trimester of pregnancy, foals do the majority of their growing, so we start the mares on a little stud mix and gradually build up the quantity.

With one month to go, the mares are introduced into a new routine, being stabled each night, each mare has her own stable, this enables her body to build up immunity to her new surroundings which are passed onto the foal. The mares are dewormed, have a Flu and tetanus vaccine and the last trim from the farrier prior to foaling, all are routine for us and all for the benefit of the mares and foals as we start our new evening TV show… Foal Watch.

We are now prepared, if there is anything missing from our foaling kit, it is sleep! No matter if this is your first foaling or your 100th, you do not want to miss it…the thought of creating a life and not being prepared to take accountability for any complications that might occur is something we take very seriously.

Counting down the days, we observe their udders and vulvas at 6am and 6pm, these are key to all the signs of imminent foaling. As the week approaches to each due date, we take note of the loss of appetite for hay, they have adlib hay and as soon as this becomes bedding, we know things are starting to progress. As we increase their hard feed, we introduce a sloppy grass mash with salt, this ensures they drink plenty of water to prevent their droppings change to a firmer texture.

As we watch their evening stable TV routine show, we note their behaviour, we like to say it is a “textbook” foaling but never have we witnesses two foaling’s the same, not even from the same mare. Every mare has a different pain threshold, but the fact remains they all must go through the same process with or without those obvious signs they are supposed to show us…

Here is a little video of our 5 mares:

The ApHC UK – CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS FINAL

 Well, we thought it was never going to end…

The support from our ApHC UK Members was incredible, the added Sponsorship enabled us to add more qualifiers for the Champion of Champions. We added a WILD section for those who qualified in utility classes with Appaloosas and then we were able to split the WILD section to enable our Members to participate with their non Appaloosas. As the COVID restrictions lifted slightly, we were able to offer a video section and then a Youth section, so from a small idea came a huge online show that financially benefited our charity through very challenging times.

With three very patient and talented Judges “WE DID IT”, on behalf of the ApHC UK Directors and it’s Members, thank you to Louise Hunt (Spring Show), Sally Chamberlain (Summer Show) and Beverley Beresford-Batten (Autumn Show). All three Judges (based on a score system) judged the Champion of Champions from all who qualified from the Spring, Summer and Autumn Show Series.

 

What on earth would we do without modern technology to have completed such a huge task…

Here are the final videos of all Champions and Reserve Champions that qualified for the CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS SHOW SERIES 2020

Appaloosa Horse Club UK – 2020 Show Series

As one of the ApHC UK Directors, I personally have been extremely busy during the “lock down” coordinating the ApHC UK virtual shows, Redheart Appaloosas is one of the main sponsors and on this basis we believe it only fair not to compete in the competition ourselves.

Never thought so much work was involved but what an absolute honour, a pleasure and how exciting it has been, the promotion of ApHC UK and the Appaloosa in the UK has certainly taken presidency on social media. I’m only too happy to help promote the Appaloosa Breed and help offer our members something to aim for during these unprecedented times!

We have used every “spare” minute to organise these online show but we are near the end.. The Spring, Summer and Autumn Shows have been completed successfully and now I prepare the Champions and Reserve Champions for our three Judges, Louise Hunt, Sally Chamberlain and Bev Beresford Batten  to decide who our Champion of Champions will be…

Redheart Appaloosa updates will resume shortly, we have so much news to tell you…

Redheart Appaloosas New Pasture

It certainly has been a very wet winter, we’ve never fed hay in MAY before!!!

None the less, the sun eventually came out and the spring grass was evident, the herd certainly will benefit from Dr.Green.

 

Contentment…

 

The Yearling Appaloosas Standing Still

Our 2019 Appaloosa’s, Redheart Rookie, Revelation, Relentless & Reflection were taught to tie up as weanlings, as yearlings they are expected to tie up and stand patiently. We think they are doing great!

Here’s a little VIDEO

Virtual – Appaloosa Shows for 2020

Due to the current situation of COVID 19, it is without doubt social distancing is in place to help prevent the virus spreading and to ensure unnecessary stress on the NHS. This has resulted in ALL social events being cancelled – with good reason and we certainly understand and are not complaining.

Many of the Clubs, Societies and event organisations have taken this opportunity to promote their interests, their breeds and keep all equine enthusiast’s entertained by way of Virtual events and photo competitions.

As Directors of the ApHC UK, its certainly beneficial to notify our members of these events that will promote the APPALOOSA BREED, one very special event that Redheart’s try to attend each year is Royal Windsor. It one of the most prestigious events and is a highlight for us to promoting our Appaloosas, its a well organised event over 5 days and we recommend a visit, especially in 2021.

The actual physical Appaloosa Class at Windsor is restricted to the British Appaloosa Society, however  their “OPEN” Appaloosa Class for  Virtual Windsor 2020 attracted a huge amount of interest… here some of the fantastic entries from Instagram at  #virtualwindsorclass22, including our own.

 

Royal Windsor Horse Show announced the Top 10 Finalist today from a total of 79 entries. The judging of this class will be streamed on Saturday 16th May, 2020 as part of Virtual Windsor Show Week.

We are extremely proud to see two of the finalists represent Redheart Appaloosas.

Pure Appaloosa Breeding – Future Bloodlines

Our Stallion – DFR Patahas Redheart certainly is a huge asset to our breeding plan.
Disregard the performance record, ignore the genetics reports, forget about conformation, and overlook the temperament and you are left with The Pedigree…

These horses in Blu’s pedigree are listed on The Appaloosa Horse Club Hall of Fame (established in 1986 to recognize the unique contributions and positive impact individual horses have made on the ApHC).

Redheart Regent & Reality – Two 16hh 3yr old Appaloosas

Regent & Reality are supposed to spending 2020 in the ring, as 3yr olds it’s their last in hand season. We are in the same boat as everyone else, due to the current situation about COVID 19.

The boys are looking well and certainly showing us exactly the power of the LP gene, beautiful!

We have been utilising our time “starting” them, we are taking every day slowly and calmly, here’s a few pictures after their long-reining session, certainly too much energy!

 

 

The Appaloosa foals are now yearlings…

Happy first birthday to The Class of 2019, they are all developing differently, both mentally and physically but the main similarity is how they know their routine, 6pm is dinner time every day and they know it!
