The past is now the future…
People and horses alike enter your life for a reason….new friends, new horse, new start!
The loss of Redheart Cateaster left a gap in our breeding plan but we were not actively looking for a filly or broodmare but sometimes “events” are meant to be!
Logging on to Facebook one morning, this stunning face caught my eye with the words,
” Myka enjoying the sun, this two-year-old pure bred Appaloosa BApS Grade B filly is still for sale”
My “tick list” is endless when contemplating purchasing a horse but from this moment the ball started rolling.
Name: CARICKS REDHEART bred by Mr & Mrs Wood
Born: 10th May 2014 Expected height 15.2hh
Pedigree: Here
Sire: DREA YAKIMA FIRSHADO from Haverlands Appaloosas
Dam: LAMBRIGG DOLLAR GIRL
We patiently awaited all the test results, before the sale took place but the wait was worth it.
5 panel negative (PSSM1, HYPP, HERDA, GBED & MH) and Grey gene negative.
Bay (AA EE) and true non-characteristic (lp/lp) with one copy of pattern (PATN1/patn1).
Registered with the British Appaloosa Society as a Grade B, her pedigree is full of registered Appaloosas. Her dam is the only horse in the pedigree not registered with the Appaloosa Horse Club. As part of Myka’s sale, Mr & Mrs Wood agreed to register Lambrigg Dollar Girl with the ApHC and the ApHC UK, ensuring Myka’s future registration permits her to join our Foundation herd.
All agreed and off I set “Oop North”!
After a good trip up and down the M18, we safely arrived home.
We take no risks introducing new horses to the herd especially when we have pregnant mares, therefore Myka went straight into isolation. She could see all the horses but had no contact!
She really did protest in the round pen but by night checks she was very settled and much quieter.
Meet Myka……….
May I take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to Mick & Carol Wood.
I have made two wonderful new friends and endeavour to do my best by “your Myka”.

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 Patahas Redheart (Blu) and Redheart Royale (Ben). I ran Ben and Lisa Randle ran Blu, both colts gave a good show but today it’s simple….we were beaten by better horses. We had a really good fun day and delighted with both colts performance especially being stabled away from home for the first time, every day is a school day!
Blu took a third in colts, Ben fourth and then Ben took a third in the yearlings class with Blu fourth.

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 horses trotted up behind her…
We learnt a lot about Blanc today, we will hire an indoor school before we travel too far and pay entries….
None the less, she stood for the judge and trotted straight, coming back to me very nicely. Loading and travelling being second nature…
Blanc indoors needs revisiting….
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.

So, our Foaling Alarm is set, breeding would be easy if this were the case!
If you have moved house you know the stress levels, if you have moved farms, you know moving house is easy!

Back up….
Ruby & Grace, “the security”.
Ink, the “hunter”.
Each paddock has at least two sides if not three surrounded by mature hedging and trees for shelter, the land has a slight gradient which should allow for adequate drainage and hopefully minimize poaching? See what the winter brings?
Just need to Keep Calm as nothing stay’s the same….
The third show of 2016, held by the Appaloosa Horse Club UK. An abundance of classes open to and supported by ApHC UK members at Rodbaston Equestrian Centre.
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).

Redheart Pasculius’s last show before joining the broodmares, RESERVE SUPREME CHAMPION!
What an end……
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.
