EAGLES NEST Farm

Avelina recieved her ster predicate at the Iron Springs Farm Keuring!  The judges awarded her three 80's for trot, canter and self carriage; these scores placed her second among a large group of very nice mares.  We are looking forward to her 2011 Rousseau foal.  Pictures to follow. 

CCF Adel Aiden has been sold to Emily Benner of Vermont.  Be looking for this pair in not only the dressage arena but also on the Hunter/Jumper Circuit.  We couldn't have asked for a better home for this special guy!

Emma Belle ENF has been sold to Elisha Massong of Ontario Canada.  Elisha reported that Emma made it accrossed the boarder safely and has settled into her new home.  Be looking for Emma on the line this summer.  We are thirlled our little girl went to such a wonderful owner with a great group of supportive "horsey" friends!

We have added a new mare to our breeding program.  Introducing Avelina:  2005 Dutch Warmblood (Olivi x Lancet x Doruto)
 

Avelina was bred by Jennifer and Jason Miller of Century Ranch in Canada.  A huge thank you to Jennifer and Jason for being the wonderful people they are and helping to make this happen for us.  What a special opportunity for us to add a mare of this quality to our program.  Avelina will be bred to Rousseau for a 2011 foal.  Please look for more information on this fabulous young mare on our mares page.

Elita ENF (Rousseau x Jazz x Lancet) was named the #5 dressage foal in North America.  We are thrilled to say the least! 
"First place was the bay filly Elita ENF (Rousseau out of Zsa Zsa ster by Jazz x Lancet) bred
and owned by Jessica Eagles. Elegant, leggy, uphill, with a beautiful top-line and neck she
moved with good trot technique and showed an easy, correct canter. With 7.8 for conformation
and a 7.8 for movement this youngster took the Best Young Horse-Dressage award - and - fifth
place in the Top Fives."

Team Eagles Nest returned from our first keuring with homebred foals and could not be more pleased with our girls.  Elita ENF received first premium with a comment from the jury that she was one of the best foals they have seen all tour!!!  Video of Elita at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WxhIROC1BJ0

My sister Brigit Plate, a professional photographer, (http://bplatephoto.wordpress.com) came to the farm last week to get some pictures of the horses.  I am blessed to have her in my life, and had a great time trying to capture some of the horses personalities with her. 

In the wee hours of the morning on June 4 Vwala presented us with a beautiful black filly.  We could not be more pleased.  Emma Belle ENF is offererd for sale.

 

Zsa Zsa presented us with a beautiful bay filly on May 14, 2009 at the very reasonable hour of 7:45 p.m.  More pictures and a name to follow!

Dr. Ritter will be at Eagles Nest Farm and Fortress Farms (Castle Creek) for a clinic May 1-3.  The clinic is full, but contact Donna for audit information.
