♚Adelaide's Steeds♚
Our showing equines are specially selected and trained by Adelaide Winterstep herself. Their skill-sets range from eventing, to western pleasure, and beginner to extremely advanced. Adelaide prefers training project horses, thus the majority of her horses are young and green, and typically have little, to no, experience when coming to the stables for the first time.

♛Cloud 9 SE♛One of the newer members of Silverglade Equestrian, Cloud 9, or "Finn" is a 5 year old grey Dutch Warmblood. Finn is currently being used as an Eventing horse by Adelaide Winterstep, but also teaches Intermediate students in his freetime and is used as a clinic horse for several trainers. His strengths include Combinations, water (and jumps in water), trailering out and extending his gaits. Finn has currently stayed out of the spotlight, but in 2020 we plan to see him competing in many events.

♛Stargazer's Constellation SE♛Stargazer's Constellation SE, or Gabe for short, is the young horse in the barn, but a stud at that. The 4 year old Trakehner gelding is already competing at a fair schooling level, and is a huge prospect to become Adelaide's next "Margo". His strengths include Wide Jumps, bounce combinations, framing and uphill galloping. Gabe is always up for the challenge, and searching for something new to explore, even though sometimes his curiosity gets him in trouble. Gabe has already won 8th at a schooling hunter show hosted by NAJHA, and is signed up the New Years Rated Show.

♛Melody of the Lyre SE♛Melody of the lyre SE, or Mel for short, is an old timer at the barn, and used in many of Adelaides Lessons and Clinics. The 8 year old Connemara was used in Adelaide's first major video, and ever since then has been a charmer. Mel's strengths include Long XC Courses, sharp turns in SJ, working with Children, and his floaty trot. Mel has remained low key on the showing, and will remain a lesson and pleasure horse for the next while, until Adelaide chooses to show him in his prime.

♛Violet's Crescendo SE♛One of Adelaide's original horses, Violet's Crescendo SE, or "Violet", has continued to be the classic mother of the barn. This 12 year old Dutch Warmblood X Cob mix has always been a shining star in the world of Dressage, until the summer of 2018 when a leg injury left her stall bound for 4 months. Nonetheless, Violet's foal, Stargazer's Constellation SE, from a previous birth, provides her with the opportunity to pass down her incredible legacy, and the fame she gained from countless shows and events.

♛Gold RushGang SE♛Gold Rushgang SE, or "Goldie", is a 2 year old roan Connemara X Hanoverian currently training for Adelaide. Goldie is not yet saddle broke, but extremely experienced in ground work and manners. Some of her strengths include free lunging, walking and eating. Yes, that's about it. Goldie has ranked very high in the conformation classes she's done, some even located as far as Epona. Our hopes are high for this lovely mare, when her under saddle training begins in 2019.

♛Berkley's Key SE♛Berkley's Key SE, or "Berkley", is a 8 year old black Thoroughbred gelding. His experience in the dressage show ring makes him an intelligent, expressive and dramatic soul, adding to his royal flair. Berkley is very expressive in the dressage ring, and obtains exemplary scores because of it. Berkley's strengths are piaffes, passage, his extended canter and his brilliant mind. Berkley has showed at international Dressage competitions, including JDA shows.

♛Jaded Truth SE♛Jaded Truth SE, or "Jade", is a six year old connemara mare, who came to us from a friend stable. Jade's shy yet sweet personality has landed her a spot on the lesson team in her freetime, but recently Adelaide took her on as a project. Jade excels in Hunter, and adores going to shows, miniscule things compared to her long list of strengths, how she handles show stress and jumping weird lines being just a few. Jade is registered to compete at a New Years Rated Show this year, and will hopefully place high at her first show.
