Seeing Cowboys chase Indians on their Appaloosa horses during the Saturday morning westerns on the TV is where my love for the breed began. As a 9 year-old I dreamt of riding in such harmony and at great speed on the backs of these spotted horses just like the Indians.

Many years and much research later me dream was finally fulfilled when my True Appaloosa Stallion, Kiss My Finest Heart, stepped off the lorry here in Spain completing a long journey from Texas and from my childhood. He is of course Black and White - so was the TV in those days!

Though I learnt long ago that Appaloosas come in many colours and with many coat patterns I stayed true to my dream. As such I also have True Appaloosa Mares to do my small part in increasing the numbers of this once nearly extinct breed.

Here in the idyllic countryside above the village of Manilva, Málaga, 10 kilometers from the coast, I am constantly learning with my horses as I practice barefoot and natural horse husbandry, endurance riding and perfect our small breeding program.

As the years have past I have learnt that the more I know about horses the more there is to learn! So I decided to build this web site to share what I have learnt and continue to learn regarding Endurance, Barefoot horses and Paddock Paradise. I will also happily share with you all I have learnt regarding equipment, horse riding tips, horse training tips and health care. Maybe in return, you can share your equine knowledge with me!

I AM CONSTANTLY UPDATING MY SITE, TIME PERMITTING (!) SO PLEASE CHECK BACK OFTEN FOR MORE INFORMATION ON HORSE CARE, BAREFOOTING, ENDURANCE & MY BEAUTIFUL APPALOOSAS. Paste me in favourties, or better still sign-up on my mailing list so you can be sure not to miss any updates.
