Two seasoned broodmares and two maidens, all in foal to DFR Patahas Redheart. Our four broodmares on their way to higher ground. All in their 7 months of gestation, all looking really well (a little too well) but they will need their reserves to get them through winter…
At nearly 7 months, Redheart RU Chubarry is up-to-date with worming, vaccinations, and the farrier, she’s microchipped, has a passport and registered with ApHC, ApHC UK and BAps, she ties, leads, loads and is happy to wear a rug which means one thing…time to leave the stud.

Christmas day 2004 we entertained the “family” for lunch, about 20 of us and the food prep took a very long time, we had purchased the Cat Stevens CD and the songs played continuously. One favorite song was (and still is) Father and Son, well some of the lyrics are just so fitting here when […]
We join the many people who appreciate the beauty of sunrises and sunsets, moonlit halos and anything else Mother Nature throws at us… During the beginning of October we’ve witnessed several evenings with a red sky but to capture an image with such beauty requires Appaloosas here at the Stud! You can’t make animals in […]
