If it wasn’t for the ApHC UK…………

“The ApHC UK are pleased to announce a Special Award for commitment to promoting the Appaloosa in the UK as well as attending all the Club’s shows in 2014, this award has been presented to Paula Cooper with her Foundation Appaloosa colt Redheart Catorrius.

We understand that Paula and her horses had a good day at Royal Windsor Horse Show too.

Very well done Redheart Appaloosas.”

ApHC Award

If it wasn’t for the ApHC UK advert in Free Rein July 2007, my mother and I wouldn’t have attended.

 

 

If it wasn’t for the ApHC UK members who introduced their horses at this show we would never have caught the “Bug”.

If it wasn’t for the ApHC UK Directors continued support and direction I would have never made it to my first show without borrowing the required clothing and attire.

They are special ones, committing their time, energy and knowledge to support a breed they believe in.

They will always exceed your expectations and help you whatever your needs.

I am truly overwhelmed and honoured to receive this award.

This recognition gives me great strength and encouragement to continue my journey with Redheart Appaloosas.

Showing, producing, breeding and selling Appaloosas x Appaloosa horses within the UK.

Committed to the on-going development of Foundation Blood lines, Performance records topped off with Patterns and Colour.

 Thank you ApHC UK Directors & members.

It’s a filly foal…..

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.

Early Monday morning, Catori was showing signs of discomfort which subsided. Later, the tell tale sign of her dropped belly meant the foal had presented its self in the canal. At  4.10am this morning we viewed the safe delivery of a healthy few spot filly. Pending registered name Redheart Regal.

As expected, Catori proved to be a very protective mother and it was a challenge to meet the new arrival stable named Blanc. My youngest daughter said its “All Blanc”! (never guess she is learning French).

Given the foal looks all white and Catori was imported from France, the name has justification!

Blanc and Catori have a very strong bond and obviously  LP/LP which makes her a super breeding prospect.

They were taken out into the round pen this evening for 20-30 minutes, here are some photos of them.

      

We are delighted to see our second healthy Redheart Appaloosa on the ground.
