Blanc Indoors…..

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….

 

Foaling Alarm….

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.

Keeping Calm, Nothing Stay’s The Same……

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….

What An End…..

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……

“Wild Card” @ High Horse….

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 for the Championship due to fencing duties at home. One of the many delights of the day, being awarded a “Wild Card” to compete in an evening Championship class, we did the honourable duty of declining but what an achievement for us.

Not the “wild” day Evee had at Netley Hall a few weeks back!

A Dream Come True……

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 in the UK.

The most relevant news, Redheart Appaloosa Stud has moved Counties, from Gloucestershire to Worcestershire. We have a quaint country cottage with enough land to cater for our expanding herd. We are starting with a blank canvas and applying for planning permission for an agricultural barn and stable barn, ensuring we can offer the mares, foals and stallions adequate facilities for breeding.

Until the paddocks are established, our stallion Reus is at a local livery yard, Areion Equestrian. We could not be happier and relieved because many livery yards do not take stallions, due to misunderstanding! The owner Jo, runs this professional livery yard, nothing was compromised during our stay. We would like to say a huge thank you to Jo and her team, what a delightful yard to be part of. Reus was a good boy and we made use of their fantastic facilities before bringing him home, his own paddock away from the mares.

I can now see the horses from my bedroom window, such a precious sight and a dream come true.

Show Season Highlight…….

One of the main highlights of the show season is the Appaloosa Horses Club UK  National show. A two-day event that caters for every Appaloosa enthusiast.

This year we took our two GAP 5 horses, Redheart Pascalius and DFR Patahas Redheart. I participated with both horses in the Appaloosa Horse Club  classes while Crystal participated both horses in the Appaloosa Horses Club UK classes. On this occasion, backed up by a young lady Amilie,  who has caught the Appaloosa “bug”.

Another wonderful day showing, we both achieved a few awards and congratulate all the other competitors.


Already looking forward to the 2017 National Show……

 

Crazy Lady….

A day showing at Netley Hall in Shrewsbury, Shropshire with Redheart Pascalius.

We look for a reason, we search for answers but sometimes we fail to find either?

Today was one of those days, first class was a challenge, Evee had her own problem to deal with and she forgot to tell me about it!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A real sting in her behind? Perhaps?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After a little chat outside the ring, she composed herself and returned to that sweet lovable character we know !
