What a wonderful feeling, seeing owners with their Redhearts.
Wendy came to visit Ru and we delivered Regent to Jane.
After a nice shower, our journey with Regent was very easy, he loads and travels very well and we all were delighted to see how chilled he was at his new home.

Happy horses and happy owners!
21st April 2017 we saw the birth of Redheart Regent, from this day he has been given the best possible start in life at Redheart Appaloosas. At 15 months, it is time for him to move on and start a new chapter in his life, an exciting loving home in Gloucestershire where he has already become one person’s dream horse!
It’s the prospective purchaser that vets the horse and it is us who vet the prospective purchaser.
It’s wonderful to see this new partnership already bonding, we are confident your journey in life together will be meaningful and fulfilling and Regent will give you everything you have ever wished for and more!
We shall keep his page open and follow his journey.
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 11-month-old gelding’s were turned out within a spacious 10-acre paddock. They certainly needed each other, calling and running around looking for what they once knew – the herd.
The main advantage at this time is they want to come in, one call from me and they were waiting at the gate, a perfect opportunity to start educating the yearlings on a one to one basis.
Regent and Reality’s first turn out in 2018…
Best mates…
The Winter With The Redheart Appaloosas
At 6 am the stable lights go on and at 6 pm I’ll straighten the bed
Without a doubt, come rain or snow, out in the corral they must go
Stretching their legs and keeping their head, it’s never long before they’re fed
Our stallion likes to smell the air and our broodmares like to stand and stare
The yearlings love to buck and run, they really have so much fun
The rest are easily pleased as we wait for spring it seems
There’s always one that loves to roll, the one by the gate see’s the feed bowel
The night-blind horses can see in the day but in the dark, only the light shows the way
They follow me with never a doubt, they trust me when they go out
The days are stolen and I want them back, never time for cleaning tack
I used the camera and as you can see, the horses are posers, just like thee

Regent and Reality have now been successfully castrated.
We worked night and day to complete two of our ten box’s, the date made and the deed complete.
It is never taken for granted the complications that can occur after castration, thankfully Regent and Reality recovered very well from the procedure and hopefully will grow slightly taller as their growth plates will now take longer to close. One reason for castrating these boys early!
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 trim, a well-balanced foot is key to not only soundness but movement and performance. It is the small things that matter, Tim and Jo’s dedication to “get to know” our horses is only ever an advantage for all parties.
They have a quiet and gentle approach to the foals education. Each session, the foals come into the stable with their dams. Even at four weeks old, meeting the foals and just picking up their feet (a stranger) is a fabulous grounding for their future relationship.
Regent and Reality are in for the farrier for the 5th time, they are so content and well-behaved, thanks to Tim and his team for all your efforts.
Nothing like a good scratch, on a hot sunny day!

Redheart Regent is the half-brother of Redheart Pascalius and nephew to Redheart Reality!!!!
They are all very close and all very closely related.
A mare and foal have a very strong bond. Princesse Pascale and Peyres Catori Cat have both displayed the normal reactions to their foals and kept them close.
BUT…..
It’s also very normal for the foals to venture away from their dams, not too far, generally running around them. Regent and Reality have passed close to each other a few times and today they met!
As each day passes, the foals start to socialize, it’s a beautiful sight. One minute Regent is playing the dominant foal and the next minute its Reality’s turn.
Here are a few pictures, when they met for the first time.
I’m not sure if it’s the mare or the foal who “release” The Apron String?
