Glen has a steadfast temperament and is known to be alert and accommodating when presented with challenges. He is small in stature, which makes him very approachable to all levels of students and clients. Glen is a pillar of the Gleneayre Equestrian Program, as he adapts to all kinds of clients and patiently does his job. Glen has worked with over 200 clients, most of which were at-risk youth, first offenders, and veterans, each of whom he helped to grow and heal. Most of the clients who participate in the EFL and EFMH programs have little to no horse experience. His approachable temperament allowed him to smoothly transition into the Equine Facilitated Learning (EFL) and Equine Facilitated Mental Health (EFMH) non-riding programs at Gleneayre. Glen continued to impact lives after he retired from Gleneayre's working student program. When the time came for Glen to retire from jumping, he spent several years working with beginner riders teaching them basic flatwork. Glen was an integral part of the program for many years, as his calm demeanor and forgiving attitude made him suitable for teaching timid and anxious riders the basics of jumping.ĭuring this time at Gleneayre, Glen was a project horse for five children, taking them from cross rails to the 2'6" divisions. In his prime, Lucky Strike, also known as Glen, campaigned as a Small Junior Working Hunter and was piloted to many championships with Brianne and Clementine Goutal.įollowing his days in the show ring, Glen began a new career at Gleneayre Farm in 2007 as a part of their working student program, which provides young riders the opportunity to work and gain valuable character skills in exchange for lessons. Lucky Strike is a 1994 Dutch Warmblood gelding that has had an impact on the equestrian community from winning top ribbons in the hunter ring to helping individuals in Equine Facilitated Learning programs.
