United Saddlebred Association’s May Festival 2018 European Championship Show for American Saddlebreds & Foreign Breeds Festival at Moreton Morrell College, Warwickshire. Under the training of Bruce Lawrence at Valley View Ranch and Equestrian Centre Reus and I have really enjoyed our Saturday group lessons, we have progressed somewhat and in reality what we achieve in a […]
Our ten-year plan is now well underway, we have imported new Appaloosa blood into the UK, we have shown in-hand all our “foundation” breeding stock and strongly believe our stock have earned their merits to breed, now we begin competing under saddle. We have tested all the stock’s genes to clarify breeding forward with clear […]
Let the show season begin… Well not quite, our plans to spend the season with Redheart Regal certainly stopped a month ago when she gave birth to Ru. Our three-year-old stallion should be having his last year in-hand in the ring but is now otherwise occupied with the breeding season, more about that next week. […]
After a long winter, the ground has certainly dried and the spring grass is coming through. Over the last week, our mares have joined our two yearlings, Regent and Reality in the pasture. Slowly increasing the amount of time spent grazing, they haven’t come up for air! Heads Down And then…waking up to […]
We are delighted to announce our 2018 purebred bay (Ee Aa) buckskin few spot filly Ru has found herself a 5* home here in the UK. After weaning she will head off to Chubarry Appaloosa Stud in Hertfordshire. www.chubarryappaloosas.co.uk. Here, Ru will undertake her new registered name “Redheart RU Chubarry” under the ownership of Wendy Fitzgerald. […]
Friday 13th.. As expected, Redheart Regal’s (Blanc) udder and vulva proved correct in their progress. There is no way these are typical pictures of a mare that is close to foaling never mind 6 hours away! I guess you know your mare and the changes that occur and these developments were huge in comparison to […]
May 2017 the contractors arrived here at the stud to erect a fence creating two paddocks. Once the fence was up Blu our stallion enjoyed his new paddock parallel with the mare’s field. Then came that dreaded phone call, “Mum, Blu’s in with the girls”…. My first worry was for the safety of the horses, […]
We’re very proud to share the Appaloosa Horse Club Performance results from 2017. Honoured to see our two young stock Appaloosa’s DFR Patahas Redheart and Caricks Redheart on the table. Many congratulations to all who participated.
My last recollection of spring snow is March 2013 when Redheart Pascalius was not a month old, yet 5 years on here we are with another sprinkling of spring snow in March. Redheart Reality and Redheart Regent have encountered the white stuff with pure excitement…it’s been very entertaining watching them dig, roll and eat it!
Its been a few months since our Redheart Yearlings were weaned and castrated, they are growing and looking very well. They have become independent and adapting to short education lessons without knowing. The horses are still wintering in the barn and every day they’re turned out for short periods in an all-weather corral. Today Redheart Regent and Redheart Reality our […]
