The name “Redheart” has another meaning when it comes to Valentine’s Day. Although in the “normal” sense many people will exchange cards, gifts or flowers for their special “valentine”. Here at Redheart Appaloosas we honour the memory of the importation of; Peyres Catori Cat from France in 2008 and Princesse Pascale from Austria in 2009. […]

With Catori settled away from home it has given me an opportunity to bond with Easter, frequently using short periods of quality time educating her without any other distractions. I like this weaning process, only once the first 24hrs have passed. Easter has accepted her mum has gone and not there to comfort her, she is […]
