After a few days in the round pen it was time to venture out into the big field. Peyres Catori Cat is always a protective mother for the first few days. By day four she was far more relaxed and was turned out with her new-born Blanc. Pending registration name – Redheart Regal. […]

Let me introduce you to Katie Lynch…..our paths crossed a few months back when she enquired about Redheart Appaloosas. Katie grew up on her Great Aunty and Uncles farm; they bought her (and her sister) their first pony and allowed them to ride their older and bigger horses. Katie worked as a mother’s helper for […]
Last night it was very warm and Catori was quite content being out but seemed to be stood close to the entrance to the field on her own which was very unusual.

Does your horse have full siblings? Where are they? What are they doing? In 2008 we purchased the 6 month old Peyres Catori Cat, at that time only a full sibling yearling colt was on the ground. In 2009 Princesse Pascale was purchased at 6 months old, at the time there was no record of any other siblings. […]

Situated away from any other horses, ideal for their first experience out in the fresh air. Ben is a vigorous colt. Our previous foals were […]
