Bonjour Blanc & Good Morning Ghost One of the aims here at the stud is to improve our blood lines, breeding forward. Sometimes an opportunity cannot be missed! Meet Ghost, a perfect little filly born from two amazingly bred Appaloosas, the sire RHA Sully Fire Image bred at Red Hills Appaloosa, Oregon, USA (FPD: 100% […]
Ever wondered how this: Becomes this: Redheart Pascalius aka Evee, is black (EE aa), she has inherited one copy of the Leopard Complex Gene (LP/lp), she has characteristics. She did not inherit the Pattern gene (PATN1) therefore we would never be able to see her spots if she had any because LP and Pattern […]
A horse with two copies of the Leopard Complex gene, a huge asset in the breeding world of Appaloosas because they will pass on one LP gene 100% of the time, thus their progeny will be Characteristic. Additionally, LP/LP horses without question will be affected by Congenital stationary Night blindness (CSNB). Over the years, we’ve […]
Two seasoned broodmares and two maidens, all in foal to DFR Patahas Redheart. Our four broodmares on their way to higher ground. All in their 7 months of gestation, all looking really well (a little too well) but they will need their reserves to get them through winter…
At nearly 7 months, Redheart RU Chubarry is up-to-date with worming, vaccinations, and the farrier, she’s microchipped, has a passport and registered with ApHC, ApHC UK and BAps, she ties, leads, loads and is happy to wear a rug which means one thing…time to leave the stud. She loaded in Worcestershire and unloaded in Hertfordshire, at […]
Redheart Regal, Redheart Reality and Redheart Regent, despite the elements they always make you feel less guilty leaving them out when they look so happy and content!
The trees are losing their leaves and the temperatures have soared from minus one to eighteen degrees. The dark evenings illuminated by the sun, the ranging colours, seen by everyone. The dark mornings brightened by the moon, here are a few pics of our autumn in bloom 😂
There are many assumptions about breeding for colour especially with the increasing availability of equine genetics to the public. More and more “breeders” are certainly breeding for colour, evident by beautifully coloured marked foals with no obvious thought for conformation, pedigree, temperament, registrations or performance and the list can go on… No horse has perfect conformation, beauty is […]
We’ve noticed the “independence” of Ru over the last month or so and due to adlib hay and sharing her dams feed the demand for milk has reduced, just a few factors that help during weaning. Because Ru is sold, we would like her to leave the stud when we know she is ready and not […]
