The Heart V-
Chris, Victoria, Maddie and Josey Dellapaolera

The Heart V and the Dellapaolera family started their legacies in unison. Victoria “Tori” grew up on the back of a horse in the badlands of Montana, and spent her life seeking harmony through horsemanship, but also through self development.

She bought the Heart V brand in 2013 with the intentions of raising performance horses. Life shifted as she met Chris, and for close to 12 years her band of horses carried her Montana brand across the nation as she sought harmony in horsemanship.

Having developed a love for the backcountry and packing, Tori and Chris had decided to begin raising mules for their own string. Through the love of the horse (and Mule) this grew and evolved into a beautiful band of Black Label broodmares producing Quality Cowhorses and Mules.

All of Tori’s original string of horses have now passed, but the brand lives on. They live on in our horsemanship and dedication to becoming the student of the horse.

With a matriarchal approach to care and husbandry, broodmare care, foal interaction and colt starting are focusing on balanced nutrition, precision, and seeking harmony with the horse. Precision with every interaction with the horses to provide for a soft feel from the first interactions.

Mares are paired with stallions who provide nicking data, but also provide harmony to the cross, producing an offspring with vigor, athleticism, intelligence, and cow. With the utmost focus with every cross being genetic diversity and longevity to the Cowhorses and Quarter Horse.

For the love of the horse, for the love of the breed, and for the love of horsemanship and the backcountry.
