Brood Mares

Out of Pandora’s Choice (Pandora X Choice Mink) and sired by Adamo (Octavia X Saluut)

Glendening Adora is a buckskin mare standing at 16’3 hands. A mare with a massive stride and smooth movement, she has produced multiple offspring for the Glendening barn, all of which have an extremely supple stride and smooth gaits. Registered as a Canadian Sport Horse, Adora also has holsteiner in her pedigree on her sire’s side, and thouroghbred on her dams. All of Adora’s foals are intelligent, willing to work, and a pleasure to be around. Adora is nearing the end of her time in the breeding program, and is currently open. However, a few of her offspring are still in the Glendening barn, and would make wonderful prospects in a variety of disciplines. See the horses for sale section to see her older offspring, and contact us for details on younger prospects.

Avalon is a beautiful, 16’2 hand grey mare which has been within the Glendening breeding program for 5 years, producing two grey fillies out of different sires (Ferrari GS and Hilton GS). Before becoming a brood mare, Avalon competed successfully under Morgan Levison up to the pre-training level in eventing, both within Ontario and South Carolina. As a three-year-old, Avalon competed at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in Toronto, placing 4^th in the lieutenant and governor general’s cups under the guidance of Sarah Irving of Grandview Farm. She also was crowned 1^st in the suitability-under-saddle class within the Canadian Sport Horse Show, ridden by Morgan Levison. Avalon is a kind mare with tremendous scope in jumping, huge movement and a wonderful temperament, which she has passed on to her three foals which are all currently for sale. Avalon had the beautiful filly Glendening Allegro (sired by Hilton GS) in June 2010. Avalon is currently open, but will be bred in the spring, 2011.

Out of Pandora’s Choice (Pandora X Choice Mink) and sired by Heinzlemann (Haiti X Bukephalos)

Portia is a stunning, 17’3 hand bay mare, sired by Heinzlemann and out of Pandora’s Choice. As a four year old, Portia was bred to Heling, a stallion owned and imported from Germany by Galten Farms of Markham, ON. This cross gave Glendening the beautiful gelding, Glendening Padraig, who has been recently sold. After the year off to be part of the breeding program, Portia went back into competition, under the leadership of David Levison. The pair competed up to the preliminary level in eventing, and captured the Veteran Rider award for the Ontario Horse Trials Association in 2006. In the summers of 2007 and 2008, Portia was ridden by David’s daughter, Morgan Levison, who also successfully competed at the Preliminary level with two clean jumping rounds at the Grandview Summer Horse Trials. Portia is currently bred to Heling, and is expected to foal in the spring of 2011.
