The View Between The Ears…..
Every day in the saddle has brought about a new adventure, we are enjoying every ride and every view, every minute. Viewing the world through Reus’s ears!
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.

Throughout the year, our young stock qualified for the “One, Two and three Year Old Championship Show” held at Onley Equestrian Centre. Although the horses didn’t look too bad, their coats had turned. After a hot bath and a little trim they looked presentable but not to our usual high standard. We decided to take DFR […]

Redheart Regal’s next outing was a short journey to Gracelands Equestrian Centre, under the High Horse Showing Society. Her first event indoors, having congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) there is no doubt she struggled with the light shining through the cladding, creating light and dark “patches” on the floor. Blanc also struggled within the small arena when […]
The “normal” gestation for an equine is 335 – 360 days, (342 days average). Both mares ovulated and were inseminated on the 6th May 2016. Taking the average (16th April 2017) we may see the arrival of our two triple registered foals. (Appaloosa Horse Club, Appaloosa Horse Club UK and British Appaloosa Society) Princess Pascale […]

Wonderful to see Appaloosa horses from all ApHC UK registers, the USA register (A), the British register (B), the Characteristic register (C) and the Part-Bred register (PB). […]
Anyone who has bred their own horse will know the feeling when you’re eventually in the saddle! PRICELESS…… Reus has a great range of motion. Very much looking forward to Riding Reus in 2017.
Redheart Pascalius has done us proud again, this time competing at Rodbaston Equestrian Centre, an Open Gala show organised by the High Horse Showing Society. This successful event had the most amazing atmosphere with a huge number of competitors. The weather was glorious and Evee gave an excellent performance against quality horses. Unfortunately, we couldn’t stay […]
I try to keep the “News” updated with show reports and events at the stud that I think are relevant, along with each horse’s profile as their details change or occur. We use the Social Media Facebook page “UK Appaloosa Horses” as our sponsored effort to promote the awareness of the rare purebred Appaloosas here […]
