Our goal is to produce the perfect horse: one with a good temperament, quiet eyes, spirited but enjoys being handled and attention. We breed our mares to stallions with athleticism, intelligence and kindness.
Glendening's line started with the foundation mare Pandora, a foal out of a mustang mare. Pandora had 17 offspring in Glendening's first generation of breeding, with the foals sold across North America to compete in a variety of disciplines, from open jumper to dressage and eventing. Two of Pandora's offspring were kept by David to continue the line of Glendening horses. One, Iesha, was sired by the thoroughbred stallion Sid Ol' Boy, while the other, Pandora's Choice, was sired by the thoroughbred Choice Mink. Both of these stallions were owned by Joy's father, Alf Sutton of Midhurst, Ontario. Every horse that is now within the Glendening barn can be traced back to one of these stallions.
Since then, Glendening has sought to breed their mares to stallions with athleticism, intelligence and kindness. The second generation of offspring were sired by the dutch warmblood stallions Burioso and Adamo, owned by the Kemper's in Orangeville, Ontario. The third and fourth generations of the Glendening line are out of the trakehner stallions Adrian GS, Heiling, Hilton GS and Ferrari GS, stallions owned by Galten Farms in Markham, Ontario.
All the horses at the farm are first backed by David, while the other family members aide in their training. All Glendening horses are registered Canadian Sport Horses.
