Westwood Farms - Kate's Red Flame

Kate's Red Flame

Kate's Red Flame could be a twin to my first gaited foal - Flame's Southern Belle. Belle was 1/2 walker by blood, but you would've never known. She was everything a walking horse was supposed to be. We sold Belle years ago when we got into breeding walkers as a business and wanted only purebred stock and I've missed her ever since.

When Kate's Red Flame came to our farm to Gambler's court, I felt an immediate connection. At a true big-boned 16 hands, she's much bigger than my original Belle, but she is everything that a walking horse should be. She came with the nickname "April", but I've given up trying to remember to call her by it. She's become "Bella" and seems quite happy to answer to it. Perhaps she knows "Bella" (Italian for "beautiful") fits her.

Bella is by the late, great Sir Joseph's Rocker, a talented gold champagne stallion who was well known in the Mid-Atlantic Region. He held many championship titles and produced a legacy of colorful, talented foals - 4 of whom are Bella's full siblings. Sir Joseph's Rocker passed away in 2005.

Bella is a big, beautiful chestnut sabino mare with roaning (not the true roan gene.) She is a gentle giant and a true sweetheart. She is a patient, loving mare with a heart of gold. She is easy to handle on the ground or in the saddle. She leads, loads, ties, clips, bathes, and backs like a lady. She has miles and miles of trail experience and has been a true asset to our riding lesson program. We even have used her to give lessons to complete beginners. She can running walk, has a super fast rack and a true canter. She rides English, Western and bareback. Bella is a wonderful mother and teaches her foals to love their human handlers. She has always foaled easily and takes the excellent care of her foals without being the least bit over protective, which helps encourage their independent natures. Her foals have been large, very correct, intelligent and wonderfully gaited.

In foal to Golden Gambler for a March, 2010 foal!
