Looking back at two years with Talismans Redheart
Ghost was imported from France and is our smallest mare, currently standing at 15hh with an adorable kind and quiet personality.
Unfortunately, whilst playing with the yearlings, she sustained an injury to her leg last year, thankfully she’s sound, bred very well and put together quite finely so should complement her future foals with both our boys. Unfortunately, she’ll never see the show ring due to a cosmetic scar.
Listed on the ApHC Hall Of Fame, Ghost has SUNDANCE and BAMBI E on both sides of her pedigree, her sire adds APPACHE, JOKER B and PRINCE PLAUDIT whilst her dam boasts RED EAGLE, PATCHY, RED EAGLES PEACOCK and PATCHY JR.
Ghosts blood line is predominantly Appaloosa blood but go back 15 generations on the dam side and you’ll see WAZIR 1863, a grey Arabian stallion who was an undefeated racehorse and one of the most successful and famous stallions in Egypt.
