Friday 15th August. There is a lot of preparation the night before a show. Finishing work I collected my girls from their “Kids Club”, got the horses in from their fields, worked Reus, bathed and plaited him. Frank came and worked Evee, I then bathed and plaited her. A few other jobs completed and all was good […]
The ApHC UK National Supreme Champion sponsored by Redheart Appaloosas. Delighted to announce the winner was Capitall Lola with Mrs Joan Sillitoe from Cumbria. Lola is a seven-year old mare out of Maybe by Mannog Moonriver standing at Monnog Appaloosas. Lola didn’t go home with Joan that day, she went to her new home with Robinsong Appaloosas , good luck to them. Joan Sillitoe with Capitall […]
Keen to leave at 5am, I then realise it was too dark to turn Hevans EV Cateaster out into the field because she has night blindness. As soon as it was light enough Easter, Catori and PP were turned out and we loaded Hevans EV Pascalius and Hevans EV Catorrius into the lorry. A straight run up the M5 to Warwickshire College, […]
We are all ready for the Appaloosa Club UK National Show tomorrow. Last years silver has been cleaned and engraved. Looking at the 2013 winnings of Hevans EV Catorrius it was a pleasure to read the previous winners and wonderful to know Reus’s name is engraved along side some outstanding horses. The Yearling Colt Trophy , The Male Champion, […]
Absolutely delighted to recieve Redheart’s prefix certificate, from Central Prefix Register. All future home bred Redheart Appaloosa horses can now be registered with the Appaloosa Horse Club UK & The British Appaloosa Society with this prefix. An opportunity for prospective buyers to create their own name after the Redheart prefix.
We have achieved a great deal in Hevans EV Catorrius’s training to date. Reus has his own paddock, he can see the girls and is not isolated, he is settled and we do not work him in his own paddock. He is lunged, worked in hand and driven in a separate field, there is no […]
Another change made at Redheart Appaloosa’s has involved the purchase of a few sheets of ply board, a few pots of paint and the help of my daughters. We have had great fun at the start of the School Summer Holidays making a secure “round pen” to help build the relationship with the young stock! […]
Achieving the “mileage” on the showing circuit with Hevans EV Catorrius, today we attended the APHC UK Southern Show at Pachesham Equestrian Centre in Surry. Gaining 2nd place in the male under three years and Reserve Champion Young Stock. Assessing Reus behaviour recently in the ring, it is my assumption he has realised during his “show”, […]
An early start for Hevans EV Catorrius, a straight run on the M5 and M6 to the Appaloosa Horse Club UK Northern Show, held at the very impressive venue of Myerscough College. Preston. Lancashire. We arrived an hour before the first class to allow Reus to stretch his legs, have a look around and warm up. He was […]
Although a straight run on the motor way the three hour journey for Hevens EV Catorrius was for one reason, to qualify for the Royal London Show. Reus was warmed up on the lunge and dressed over before taking the Baps & ApHC UK Main Register in-Hand Young stock three years and under. Task completed! […]
