Braeberry's Princess Eleanor

Princess Eleanor as a yearling Princess Eleanor at Brookside 2011

Due to the loss of our first filly from this mare, her owner agreed to let us lease her for another foal. Murthwaite Yelena was bred to BroughHill Hadrian's Wall and a bay filly arrived on 18 June 2010. She is friendly, feminine, compact and well put together.

Her name comes from her foal date as it is the birth date of not one, but two Eleanors in England who where both princesses.

If she stays small and compact, we hope to use her as part of our breeding stock when she matures.

September 2011, we took Eleanor to the Mountain and Moorland Brookside show. I had not worked with her until giving her a bath the night before. We got to the show just before our class, so training to trot with me happened in the ring. She got the idea a bit but not enough to really show off, and ended up taking 4th place.

She is currently in Seal Rock, Oregon and enjoying her new traveling companion, Braeberry's Cassia. She is kind in the pasture and gentle with kids and people around her.
