Eden Star (known as "Eden"), by Soviet Star (USA) out of Gold Prospector (IRE) (Spectrum (IRE), was born on the 25 March 2002.  She was trained by D. Ivory and was a sprinter, racing 11 times on the flat and 10 on the all weather in 2004/5 when she managed a 1st place, and 3 thirds all at either 5 or 6 furlongs.

Eden, a diminuitive 15.1h, has spent a few years out of racing, and arrived at the yard in Winter 2011.  She is a pretty, characterful mare with pony-like paces, who loves affection, and is enjoying being ridden by our more experienced riders.  She has already demonstrated  considerable talent over jumps, and despite her newness behaved beautifully when taken on one of our recent mid-week breaks to the South Downs.   

However, whilst Eden is obviously a lady we have to acknowledge that she will flirt quite outrageously with her stable neighbour Fidi when she’s in season!
