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 first thing I noticed was the amazing surface in the indoor arena, level and compact made running easier for the daisy cutter…… […]

The night before, the night before …………….

Friday 15th August. There is a lot of preparation the night before a show. Finishing work I collected my girls from their “Kids Club”, got the horses in from their fields, worked Reus, bathed and plaited him. Frank came and worked Evee, I then bathed and plaited her.  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.

Education………

Another change made at Redheart Appaloosa’s has involved the purchase of a few sheets of ply board, a few pots of paint and the help of my daughters. We have had great fun at the start of the School Summer Holidays making a secure “round pen” to help build the relationship with the young stock!         […]

Testing & Pushing the Boundary………

Achieving the “mileage” on the showing circuit with Hevans EV Catorrius, today we attended the APHC UK Southern Show at Pachesham Equestrian Centre in Surry. Gaining 2nd place in the male under three years and Reserve Champion Young Stock.   Assessing Reus behaviour recently in the ring, it is my assumption he has realised during his “show”, […]
