A Soldier’s Kiss
Only a dying horse! pull off the gear,
And slip the needless bit from frothing jaws,
Drag it aside there, leaving the road way clear,
The battery thunders on with scarce a pause.
Prone by the shell-swept highway there it lies
With quivering limbs, as fast the life-tide fails,
Dark films are closing o’er the faithful eyes
That mutely plead for aid where none avails.
Onward the battery rolls, but one there speeds
Heedlessly of comrades voice or bursting shell,
Back to the wounded friend who lonely bleeds
Beside the stony highway where he fell.
Only a dying horse! he swiftly kneels,
Lifts the limp head and hears the shivering sigh
Kisses his friend, while down his cheek there steals
Sweet pity’s tear, “Goodbye old man, Goodbye”.
No honours wait him, medal, badge or star,
Though scarce could war a kindlier deed unfold;
He bears within his breast, more precious far
Beyond the gift of kings, a heart of gold.
by Henry Chappell

The Criollo Horse
This brawny and intelligent breed is eager to please and trains willingly
Its indefatigability and resistance to disease, coupled with an easy-going temperament make the Criollo ideal for ranchers and country families. The breed is long living, often well into the 30s.
We love all horses - but nothing compares to the Criollo ♥️

For your consideration - Pure bred Criollo Gelding in the UK 🇬🇧
Currently standing at 14.1hh we expect Tschieff to mature at 14.2hh
Tschieff is a responsive and respectful gelding with a calm and steady nature and willing attitude
His mother Lara was imported from Uruguay and is a very responsive but gentle and kind mare with tonnes of stamina
Tschieff’s father is Mirlo, imported from Switzerland and registered in Uruguay, his father is Engano Caraguata - awarded best Criollo Stallion at the Fieracavalli, Verona & has an incredible pedigree.
The dam to our stallion Mirlo & grandmother to all of our foals over the last three years is
Merceditas
Her fathers grandfather was the legendary stallion La Invernada Hornero.
Merceditas was the fourth best of all Uruguayan mares at the Prado Uruguay 2009
Now broken and riding away well

The Appaloosa is a horse breed associated historically with the Nez Perce (Niimipu) Tribe. The name may originate from “a Palouse,” which referred to the region where the horses were bred. It is likely that these horses originally came from a variety of Spanish horses—so-called spotted horses—that were traded into the Northwest by the mid to late eighteenth century. The horses were then bred by the Nez Perce.
The Appaloosa is also known as the Nez Perce Horse. The first documented reports of horses in Oregon are in the journals of Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, who noted spotted horses similar to the Appaloosa among the Nez Perce Tribe.
The Nez Perce valued the Appaloosa for its intelligent temperament, sure-footedness, endurance, and speed. They required their horses to negotiate the treacherous trails from their winter quarters in the Wallowa Valley of eastern Oregon through the Rocky Mountains to the summer encampments on the Plains. The horses were fast enough to catch a bison and paso fino—that is, smooth-gaited—enough to allow a hunter to fire with accuracy from a full gallop.
The original Nez Perce Appaloosa nearly died out after the Nez Perce War in 1876, when the U.S. military confiscated the Tribe’s herds. A few of the breed survived into the twentieth century, however, and in the 1930s horsemen in eastern Oregon worked to revive it. As a modern horse breed, the Appaloosa is distinctive for its mottled skin, visible sclera (the white outer layer of the eye), and vertical-striped hooves.
The Appaloosa is one of the most distinctive and valued American horse breeds in the world. The Nez Perce Tribe and other horse ranchers in the region are continuing to develop the desirable traits that were bred into the original breed in the nineteenth century.
