UTHER: aka "Castle Oak Pendragon" - Our lead tenor of the company and star boy. Purebred PRE Andalusian, b.1989. By Regalado II out of Banbury Laurel Uther is the Andalusian of the month as proclaimed by the International Andalusian and Lusitano Horse Association!

Uther has been in training for ten years and has a staggering repertoire of tricks and routines. He is completely liberty trained and is one of the only liberty horses that can do the 360-waltz maneuver going both directions.

Uther is also fully trained on the long lines as well as under saddle.He is trained to work for film and shoots being able to hit a mark and hold almost any pose, and has most of his tricks and routines able to be cued by either voice, whip or hand signal.

Some of his more exotic tricks are his complex dance routines at liberty, opening containers and drinking on command, his pedestal spins, not to mention Uther is one of the best soccer players around being able to not only hit the ball but run and pass back and forth as well as head the ball!

His show ring accomplishments are extensive as well being the only gelding to ever place Top Five in the Best Movement class at the Andalusian National Show, twice! He has performed from New England to Texas and is a favorite with crowds because of his extremely expressive face and movements.

Uther is available for media promotions. Uther is now retired from public performance but continues to star in photo shoots and on site set work.

ESCORIAL - An Andalusian/Saddlebred cross that stands at just over pony height, Escorial gave his first performance at age two after only two weeks of training. Totally calm and cool, this fancy guy amazes crowds with his impressive hind leg walk and other tricks. Escorial is our best teeter-totter horse in the barn and does many of his tricks in harness as well as at liberty. Escorial is the class clown and usually steals the show, both in and out of the ring, with his amusing antics.

JUKER - Purebred Andalusian gelding owned by Alice and Curtis Fitzgerald of Virginia. Juker spent a year here at Tintagel being liberty and trick trained. He was a wonderful student and loved his course of tricks. Juker gave his debut performance at the ERAHC show in VA in 2005. He was a bit nervous but did all of his bows and tricks willingly. The next day Juker and two friends dressed up as clowns and spent a few hours entertaining crowds at ringside. What a funny sense of humor this horse has. He loves making people smile.

Juker`s owners are willing to let him be used for charities & worthwhile benefit performances.

CAPTIVE COMMANDER A 1998 Saddlebred Stallion. These horses make such wonderful trick horses! Their natural exuberance and playfulness just exudes from them when they work.

Commander can never learn enough and never wants to end a session! He is one of the few horses able to lay down on either side and I believe may be the only one who can roll over on command!

Commander is sold now and is still learning tricks from his new owner and is available for performances. Tintagel usually has many different trick trained horses in the barn at any given time, some of which may be purchased. Here is a gallery of some of our horses that have been with us through the years.
