Our Maiden Appaloosa Mares

As a child I was brought up on a working farm in Cwmbran, South Wales. I used to spend my days pulling up docks in the fields, creosoting the fences, white washing the stables and washing out the water tanks in order to have a pony.
I obtained many other rides in my early teenage days and learnt a little from each one. Every horse was different in size, nature, ability and scope. I very quickly learnt how to achieve the very best from that individual in whatever discipline.
At the age of eighteen I headed off to West Oxfordshire carrying on my education in land management and business studies in the Thoroughbred world. During this time many doors opened,
In 1997 a vacancy at a National Hunt Trainer in Gloucestershire opened a new chapter in my life with the availability of stables and land located nearby. Confidently starting training and competing point to pointers as a hobby.
2007 I started working at The Three Counties Equine Hospital LLP. This has been the most enjoyable and rewarding place of work. I am proud to be part of a dedicated team moving forward in the Veterinary world, full of new and exciting technology to aid the equine industry.
With no horses in my life during my “brood mare” days, I can honestly say it must be a disease in the blood! It wasn’t long before I longed for some kind of “equine interest” and challenge .
Off to France to import Peyres Catori Cat in 2008 and off to Austria to collect and import Princesse Pascale in 2009!
My foundation stock to build upon, Redheart Appaloosas today.

After Talismans Redheart aka Ghost safely arrived in the UK, after two weeks in isolation, after meeting and greeting the herd and being excepted to some degree, our new filly is content within the herd even though she is consistent in her efforts for a higher place in the pecking order! Such a sweet curious […]
Redheart Regent and Redheart Reality dam’s were both inseminated and the same day, the boys were born seven days apart April 2017. They started playing as soon as they were introduced. As they became colts, they played as colts do. After castration, their coltish behaviour slowly disappeared. They are fine apart but they really do enjoy each others company… […]
