With no stables available (yet) our fencing, ditching and general paddock maintenance during 2017 were accomplished with the help of the Redheart horses. Their inquisitive nature and the mares laid-back attitude have given the foals great confidence when it comes to machinery. Well, you can’t take foals to the traffic, bring the traffic to the foals… Regent and Reality have […]
Every year we sign up to and compete in the Inhand Performance under The British Appaloosa Society, Appaloosa Horse Club UK, and the United Saddlebred Association. Our home-bred filly, Redheart Pascalius finished her in hand showing campaign last year. We are proud to add these awards to her Performance Record, a credit to her as a young filly and worthy […]
I would like to take the time to say a thank you to our farrier, Tim Whittington from The Priory Forge. Working alongside Tim is Jo Hosie, between them it is without fail they meet the needs of all our horses. One main quality of trimming is seeing the horses walk before and after a […]
The fist day of Autumn 2017 at the Redheart Appaloosa Stud
The Redheart foals are looking great….. At five months old!
Eleni Randle from G Herbert Banks (who has successfully obtained planning permission for two barns at the Stud within the last 12 months) has exceeded our expectations yet again! We now have planning granted for a 20m x 40m ménage. In time our young stock will be under saddle and we will have the perfect […]
Back at the wonderful equestrian venue of Hartpury Equestrian College, we see DFR Patahas Redheart our two-year-old colt and Caricks Redheart our three-year-old filly finish their 2017 showing campaign. We have a huge commitment to build a stable barn before the winter so our 2017 showing season must end! The Redheart young stock did well, […]
The ApHC UK National Breed Show, one show we very much enjoy and look forward to each year, held at Morton Morell College, Warwickshire. A two-day event with in-hand classes on the first day followed by an eventful and entertaining social evening and riding classes on the second day. Having young stock, we only take part […]
When looking to buy an Appaloosa, there are many factors to consider. To breed Appaloosas, they need to be registered. We like to triple register our horses with the British Appaloosa Society, the Appaloosa Horse Club, and Appaloosa Horse Club UK. It takes time, the basic’s are quality ID photographs, DNA, specific clear genetics, and […]
I usually pride myself on organisation and presentation but this weekend I was quite cross with myself…..Arriving at the show late, without my 2017 “right hand” Amelie, taking two horses that are kept well apart from each other due to a two-year-old hormonal colt and a three-year-old filly who seems to spend every day in season….
