Redheart Appaloosa Mare Pedigrees – Caricks Redheart

A look back at 4 years with Caricks Redheart.

Myka joined us at the age of two in November 2016 from Doncaster, England. She completed one season in the ring and was mainly shown by a junior.
Myka always looks for the mud and has a very affectionate character. Standing at 15.2hh she’s a great asset to our broodmare herd and has proved to an excellent broodmare.

With 28/30 Appaloosas in her 5 generation pedigree we see her sire, Drea Yakima Firshado has ApHC Hall of Fame horses, Red Eagle, Bambi E and Sundance 500 whilst her dam, Lambrigg Dollar Girl bloodline’s trace back to BRIGHT EYES BROTHER, JOKER B, THE EXECUTIVE, WAPITT (1966), PRINCE PLAUDIT (1963) and RUSTLER BILL (1996).

She has many Quarter Horses listed on the American Quarter Horse Hall Of Fame – LEO, DEAPTH CHARGE, JOE REED, JOE REED II, OLD SORREL, SOLIS, JOE HANCOCK, OKLAHOMA STAR, BILLY GLEGG, POCO BUENO, SKIPPER W, THREE BARS as well as OLD FRED (PHBA) and just to add for a giggle, SIRI SHEIK (1945) owned by Paula Cooper 😊

Myka’s pedigree is also steeped with some impressive Thoroughbred racehorses – West Australian (Triple Crown winner), BOLD VENTURE (won Kentucky Derby G1, Preakness Stakes G1), ST GERMANS (leading Sire in 1931). BLENHEIM (won The Derby in 1930), ROCK SAND (1903 British Triple Crown Winner), THE TETRARCH (leading Sire in GB & Ireland in 1919), SANSOVINO (winner of Epsom Derby 1924), BLANDFORD (Three-Time Leading Sire in Great Britain & Ireland 1934, 1935, & 1938), GAINSBOROUGH (winner of the English triple crown), MUMTAZ MAHAL (Champion 2YO Filly in 1923), PHALARIS (leading sire in Great Britain and Ireland in 1925 & 1928), MACARONI (won Epsom Derby 1863) and many more…

Redheart Appaloosa Mare Pedigrees – Princesse Pascale

A look back at 11 years with Princesse Pascale.

Imported from Austria as a weanling, Dam of Evee, Ben, Reality and Rookie and Grand Dam to Revelation.
PP spent her young stock days in the ring before being backed and ridden away. Standing at 16hh she’s the tallest and most laid-back mare we have, she’s proved to be an exceptional broodmare.

With 30/30 Appaloosas in her pedigree, her bloodlines are traced back to 8 horses listed on the ApHC Hall Of Fame (The Appaloosa Horse Club Hall of Fame was established in 1986 to recognize the unique contributions and positive impact individual horses have made on the ApHC).
DOUBLE SIX DOMINO, JOKER B and RED EAGLE are found on both sides of her pedigree, whilst her Sire line boasts PATCHY and SUNDANCE and her Dams line enriched with BRIGHT EYES BROTHER, MIGHTY BRIGHT and PRINCE PLAUDIT.
Influential Quarter Horse stallions such as OLD FRED 1894 (PHBA Hall of Fame), JOE HANCOCK 1923 (AQHA Hall of Fame), POCO BUENO 1944 (AQHA Hall of Fame) and KING 1932 (AQHA Hall of Fame ) are found. We also see the Thoroughbreds, ROCK SAND 1900, “a leading British two-year-old of his generation he became the tenth winner of the Triple Crown in 1903, winning the 2,000 Guineas Stakes, The Derby and the St. Leger Stakes” and ST FRUSQUIN 1893 “the best British two-year-old of 1895, wins included the Middle Park Plate and the Dewhurst Plate., 2000 Guineas, the Princess of Wales’s Stakes and the Eclipse Stakes”.

PP is the shadow of Catori and a Foundation broodmare in our herd, her breeding is a huge asset to the Foundation Blood Lines here at Redheart Appaloosas.
DOUBLE SIX DOMINO 1943 “was a National Champion Get-of-Sire in 1970 and placed in the top five in Get-of-Sire in 1960, 1962, and 1964. “he sired many colorful winners in halter, performance, and racing–including 246 registered foals with a collective total of 23 performance points, one Register of Merit and one bronze medallion”.

JOKER B 1941 “a 1962 National Champion Get of Sire. World & National Champion Sire. Champion Running Sire X2. First place in the 220-yard race in 1956. Sire of 3 World Champions, 9 National Champions and 1 Running Champion. He was an influential sire, and during the 1960s this horse was greatly responsible for the promotion of the Appaloosa breed by way of his extensive campaigning and numerous public appearances. JOKER B. sired 196 registered foals and passed away in 1966”
RED EAGLE 1946 “He was a charismatic horse and was the first National Champion Halter Horse. National Champion titles include Get-of-Sire and Aged Stallions, both in 1957. He greatly influenced West Coast activities during the 1940s and 1950s, sired 74 registered foals and passed away in 1971”.
PATCHY 1939 “bred in the ApHC’s first year and became known as the “picture horse” because of his vivid colour and correct conformation. Foaled in 1939 and passed away in 1963”.
SUNDANCE 1933 “He antedated the registry and was a popular sire. A participant in the U.S. Government’s remount program”
BRIGHT EYES BROTHER 1950 “He was shown lightly but greatly influenced the development of the breed. BRIGHT EYES BROTHER sired 128 registered foals, and four bronze medallion winners–one of which accumulated 69 halter points”.
MIGHTY BRIGHT 1960 “He impacted the breed substantially. Though injured as a youngster, MIGHTY BRIGHT was an outstanding sire with offspring winning consistently. He sired 188 registered foals, including six bronze medallion winners in halter and performance and a total of 54 performance and 16 halter points”.
PRINCE PLAUDIT 1963 “a top sire with get winning in both halter and performance events. A two-time national Get-of-Sire Champion, PRINCE PLAUDIT sired winners of one gold, three silver, and 19 bronze medallions. He sired 637 registered foals and 45 of his get also produced medallion winners. PRINCE PLAUDIT won a bronze production plaque in 1976.”
KNOBBY 1918 – although “unregistered he was known as “The Lamb Horse” and “one of the most famous Palouse Country Appaloosa stallions”. “Owned by Guy Lamb. He was a blue roan with black spots and was of pure blood, coming from the herd of Sam Fisher, the Palouse Indian Horse Breeder. Sam`s tribe had not been involved in the Nez Perce War, and had kept their horse herds intact. This meant they were a source for Foundation Breeders.”

Redheart Appaloosa Mare Pedigrees – Redheart Pascalius

A look back at 7 years with Redheart Pascalius.

Evee is our first homebred filly retained to enhance our bloodline breeding forward. Sibling to Ben, Reality and Rookie, Dam to Revelation and she’s by the same sire as Reus.

Evee spent her young stock days in the ring before being started. Built like a table, standing at 15.2hh she a very straight forward mare and has adapted to broodmare life exceptionally well.

With 62/62 Registered Appaloosas in her 6 generation pedigree, its full of history with lots of ApHC Hall Of Fame names – DOUBLE SIX DOMINO, JOKER B, RED EAGLE, PATCHY, SUNDANCE, BRIGHT EYES BROTHER, MIGHTY BRIGHT and PRINCE PLAUDIT from her dam, whilst her sire KISS MY FINEST HEART has added another line of RED EAGLE, APACHE, PATCHY, SUNDANCE and APACHE II.

Evee is a fine example of Foundation Appaloosa breeding, producing the third generation of Redheart bloodlines here at the stud, she’s also a fine example of how an Appaloosa’s coat colour and pattern can change with the LP gene.

Redheart Appaloosa Mare Pedigrees – Peyres Catori Cat

A look back at 12 years with Peyres Catori Cat.

Imported from France as a weanling, Dam of Reus, Easter, Blanc, Regent and Relentless and Grand Dam to RU and Reality.
Catori spent her young stock days in the ring before being backed and ridden away. Standing at 15.2hh she’s the leader of the herd with a priceless character and we think excellent conformation.

With 27/30 Appaloosas in her pedigree ( 3 Quarter Horses) her blood lines are traced back to PLAUDIT and SULLY lines on her Sire’s side, with GOER (“The all-time leading sire of Appaloosa foals, with 703 on record to date, GOER made an immeasurable impact on the Appaloosa breed–setting a standard for conformation that will remain for generations. Sire of over 48 bronze and two silver medallions, as well as 46 Register of Merits”) and THE EXECUTIVE (“The stallion now has more than 40 medallion winning sons and daughters, diverse in their talents as winners in halter, pleasure, jumping, reining, roping, cattle classes, trail, side-saddle, and racing”) on her Dam’s side, both who are listed in the ApHC Hall of Fame – A place where “The Appaloosa Horse Club Hall of Fame established in 1986 to recognize the unique contributions and positive impact individual horses and people have made on the ApHC”.

She’s the Appaloosa that started Redheart Appaloosas and the mare that’s always put on a pedestal, aka The Matriarch…

Redheart Foals In Horse & Hound Magazine 2019

Absolutely delighted to see our 2019 Appaloosa foals’ picture was chosen to feature in this week’s Horse & Hound magazine, celebrating the READER ISSUE – “All the drama and emotion of your 2019”.

The 2019 Redheart Appaloosa Foals Are Weaned…

Well, that was the easiest weaning we have ever had…

Maybe because we have four foals, maybe because our new stables have “windows” for them to interact?

Minimal “calling” from the mares and foals, quite honestly, we don’t know why the foals were actually not bothered, so we are just going to go with it!

Redheart Appaloosa Foals – Registered – Apaloosa Horse Club (ApHC)

All done…

We have 1 x 97% FPD, 3 X 100% FPD, 1 x GAP 5 and 1 x GAP 6 registered foals.

Our breeding plan is slowly getting there, 10 years later 🙂

 

 

Appaloosa Frozen Semen At Stallion AI

Its been twelve days since our stallion DFR Patahas Redheart entered the Stallion AI centre, they collected from him seven times and he’s averaged 8 doses per collection, his semen is of a small quality being less than 10ml per collection, seriously concentrated!

It is a long process to get the health papers, both pre and post, we have two weeks to wait before he can have his first post collection  CEM swabs taken, a further seven days before the second post CEM swabs and then a further seven days before we have the results. Only then will his frozen semen be validated for sale and shipment for the UK and Europe.

He certainly looks very well, the Stallion AI Team have taken great care of him. We are very happy to have him home although I believe from the staff reports he certainly enjoyed his holiday and behaved impeccably, as expected.

On his arrival home, he certainly had a lot to tell Reus…

Everyone likes a goody bag, such a nice touch 🙂
