Our pregnant mares are now entering the third trimester of gestation, their foetus’s will be growing rapidly and although all the mares are in fabulous condition they are in at night for a high oil supplement and a nice bed. Here’s a recap of our foals NEW LIFE
No words LOL
It’s time for a gathering! A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS x
It’s commonly thought Appaloosa’s who are homozygous for the Leopard Print gene are visually seen as fewspot’s with 100% white patterning to snowcap’s, with about 30% white patterning. There are many variations in-between but Appaloosas with less than 20% white patterning levels may be very difficult to verify visually, their genotype can sometimes exceed the expectations of their phenotype.

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 […]
