Foreign and Rare……….
Today we travelled to the Royal London Show held at Onley Equestrian Centre near Rugby. Our first visit to this show ground was five years ago, each year structural improvements have been made but this year I can honestly say the development has increased the premises to a higher standard. The schedule offers many classes to suit […]
Postal surprise……
What a lovely surprise in yesterday’s post, a picture of Hevans EV Catorrius at Royal Windsor Horse Show in May 2014. Winner of young stock & Reserve Champion
Back in the spot light…….
Another great success for Emma Feltham’s mare Mischief Maker, back in the ring taking the Coloured class at Cadam. Winning the “Best Appaloosa” sponsored by Redheart Appaloosas. Champion again…… Mischief Maker with Emma Feltham’s daughter Jordan. Fantastic result and many congratulations to all involved.
Redhearts together………
There is something very special that I cannot explain about being in the ring with my mother. I know she is proud of me and I know she is apprehensive about leading the babies. My mother completes the task without question and gives it her all. I am very proud of her and am thankful […]
The right day……….
Arriving at Hartpury Equestrian Centre on the ‘right day’, was a good start. Hevans EV Cattorrius & Hevans EV Pascalius were both warmed up, shown around and dressed over in time for our first class.

The night before, the night before …………….
Friday 15th August. There is a lot of preparation the night before a show.

A few other jobs completed and all was good […]
Supreme Sponsorship…….
The ApHC UK National Supreme Champion sponsored by Redheart Appaloosas. Delighted to announce the winner was Capitall Lola with Mrs Joan Sillitoe from Cumbria. Lola is a seven-year old mare out of Maybe by Mannog Moonriver standing at Monnog Appaloosas. Lola didn’t go home with Joan that day, she went to her new home with Robinsong Appaloosas , good luck to them. Joan Sillitoe with Capitall […]
Progress at the Nationals……..
Keen to leave at 5am, I then realise it was too dark to turn Hevans EV Cateaster out into the field because she has night blindness. As soon as it was light enough Easter, Catori and PP were turned out and we loaded Hevans EV Pascalius and Hevans EV Catorrius into the lorry. A straight run up the M5 to Warwickshire College, […]
Shiny Silver…..
We are all ready for the Appaloosa Club UK National Show tomorrow. Last years silver has been cleaned and engraved. Looking at the 2013 winnings of Hevans EV Catorrius it was a pleasure to read the previous winners and wonderful to know Reus’s name is engraved along side some outstanding horses. The Yearling Colt Trophy , The Male Champion, […]
