Grenadier
Grenadier
is a homebred 15 year old 16.1 bay roan Welsh Part-bred
gelding. As you can see he is very tolerant and works
as a vaulting horse with the Eagles Group. He has
lovely smooth paces - the armchair canter - and is
an excellent horse for ridden lunge work.
He
is competing very successfully with Individuals and
Novice teams in vaulting, carrying Louise Sinclair
from the Eagles Group to Junior Individual Champion
at last year's British Championships. He also carried
the winning Novice team at the Scottish Championships
He
has competed successfuly in dressage to Elementary
level and is Pat Taylor's ideal choice as a ridden
horse for people to develop the correct feel.
Kathryn
Jeffress received the rosette for the person with
the highest number of points gained at the Strathearn

FORTUITOUS
(SAM) 17.1 Bay gelding, joined the team of
Easterton horses in July 07, sponsored by Ross
Offshore and is now a valuable member of
the gang. He came with 152 dressage points and a history
of being a great all rounder.
He is a 75% TB and 25% Clydesdale 12 year old gelding.
He appears to have taken the Clydesdale temperament
and perhaps the hind leg!! He is already learning
the vaulting moves very quickly and also being used
for one to one lessons, either on the lunge or ridden
once the client is competent to improve him.
On Aug 12th 07 he accompanied GRENADIER to the NRF
in Aberdeen for his first trip - A superstar in the
making.

Sam

His
started his competitive career at the British Championships
in Sept.07 in Warwickshire (see pic.) then carried
Individuals in canter classes at the last competition
of the year in Scotland.
Spring
08 he carried the Eagles Junior team in Ermelo Holland
to a first place on the podium. See Eagles
web-site for report.
He
has also fitted in coming 4th in the Scottish Farmer
Medium finals with Pat Taylor on board.
He
also loves a wee jump!
Sadly
Sam has developed osteo arthritis in his coffin joint
and will no longer travel abroad but he is still a
valuable member of the Easterton Team. |

RUDI
( Rio Grande)
Belgian
Warmblood 17.00 chestnut gelding, 13 years old. Arrived
May 08.
Rudi
found us. He came for a lesson and told his owner
he wanted to stay by refusing to load to go home!
He was rather large for his diminutive owner and she
volunteered to bring him for a vaulting trial. He
came up trumps and now is a valuable asset to the
Club. He is a very useful school horse with lovely
paces and a great temperament. He is taking to vaulting
like a duck to water. |

Steph, our international vaulter, on Rudi |
He
has learned so quickly how to be a vaulting horse,
you would think he had done it before.
He
is also a very useful lunge horse.
Update
on Rudi - he is now an International vaulting horse
having represented GB at the European Championships
09 in Sweden - very exciting as he has only been vaulting
for a year.
Rudi
and Steph have now qualified for this years Junior
Championhips in Austria. Any help with sponsorship
would be much valued.

Pavanne
Homebred
Welsh Part-Bred gelding,16.2, born 2005.
He
is working with Ann on the Parelli system and turning
into a very confident and steady young horse.
He
will be brought on very carefully until ready to use
in the school.
He
recently had a go at his first dressage test - a walk
and trot test - and gained 70%. A tribute to the Parelli
system.
June
2010 he went to Gleneagles dressage having discovered
how to turn round in the lorry! Depiste leaving the
arena and an error of course he gained 3rd place in
the Prelim test with Pat Taylor.
He
competed in his first vaulting competition on 27th
June 2010, ably lunged by Stephanie Hunter and his
little vaulters all got rosettes
He
is now earning his pocket money as one of the school
horses and is proving popular

Atrisco |
More
affectionately known as Gizmo. He is well known
by Gleneagles members and students, having lived
there on loan for some years. He has now come home
to enjoy his retirement and is much in demand, having
competed to Advanced Medium.
He
is our best school horse and has taught many people
the rudiments of dressage.
He
is an ideal schoolmaster and lunge horse for any
level of rider.

Pardouche
Pardouche,
stable name Douche, has taken a while to learn to
trust people. He is a right brain Introvert and craves
a leader. He thinks the world of Sam and they live
together in the cattle court. We have brough him on
very slowly and he did his first vaulting competition
after 9 months of slowly building trust.
He
has a wonderful nature and loves to follow you around
at liberty.
Hopefully
he will become a useful member of the team.

- " OK Sam"
