October Hunter’s Moon at Redheart Appaloosa Stud
Our nightly checks are important before we sleep and when it’s a full moon, I’m sure even our night-blind horses see a little clearer.
The October Hunter’s Moon wasn’t that clear, but we couldn’t help capturing this image, it really was such a calm warm night and the three weanlings, Rosella, Really and Remy seemed to be sharing the same pile of hay.
The only thing stalking was I…
Redheart Weanlings – Class of 2022 – Robyn
The second weanling of 2022 to leave the stud was Redheart Replication…
Robyn is the most sensitive foal we have bred, his owner Andrea understands him 100%, we wish him every future happiness and success, we know he will shine through with her confidence and understanding.
Redheart Weanlings – Class of 2022 – Raphi
Breeding is so rewarding…
The first weanling of 2022 to leave the stud was Redheart Raphaele, we are so proud of her and wish her every success with her owner Emma.
A New Morning…
The Class of 2022 are learning to load, travel and unload until it becomes as familiar as putting their headcollar on.
Remy & Really Restrained via DuraCorral
When mares give birth, their natural instinct is to protect their foals. For that reason, we would never turn a mare and foal out within the main herd from day one. Our situation in March 2022 was made even more challenging by the relentless wet weather and muddy ground conditions.
We were unwilling to risk any potential infection through a foal’s umbilical cord, so we decided to invest in additional DuraCorral panels and divide the ménage into two separate areas.
This setup has proved invaluable. Not only does the ménage continue to serve as a riding arena when daylight permits after normal working hours, but it also helps prevent the horses from chewing the wooden fencing. Most importantly, during this period of awful weather, it has allowed us to safely turn both mares and their foals out each evening while we muck out and prepare their stables.
We are now so close to gaining that extra hour of daylight. Regardless of the weather or daylight hours, the mares and foals are turned out daily whenever conditions allow, providing them with the physical exercise and mental stimulation that we believe are essential to their wellbeing.
Redheart Mares – Counting down the foaling days 2022
The 5 Redheart broodmares are looking great, feeling fine and totally relaxed in their routine as we start to count down the days to foaling and pray for the safe arrival of our 2022 foals.
We are expecting two foals from Reus and three foals from Blu, all have full siblings except Reus x Ghost, this will be our first ever Foundation Appaloosa Horse Registry (FAHR) foal from our Catori line. It goes without saying, all we want is a healthy new-born but we would be blessed to see a filly delivered. A filly would be retained for our future breeding plan with Fire or Blu, continuing our path of the UK’s Foundation Appaloosa Stud.
