Rodeo is out of our purchased mare Indi, inseminated with fresh semen from our Stallion DFR Patahas Redheart. This is our first mating with this combination and we are delighted to see a healthy foal arrive, he’s is a correct big foal and we are absolutely delighted with him (a filly was to be retained by the Stud).

We are delighted to witness Rodeo settle in his new home with not only a loving human family but with a loving horse family, he joins Ferrara Flame, August Thunderchief Ebene du Grez and his muse Tuscany Comet.

Ben and Karen are familiar faces within the Appaloosa world and we are very excited to watch their relationship with Rodeo bloom…

Rodeo’s page shall remain here and will be updated as and when we receive notifications of his progress through life!
