Eagle Lion


Eagle Lion was an event horse that successfully competed at the highest level of the sport. He stood 16.1 hh.
Eagle Lion was out of Stream Lion, a producer of event horses, including stablemates Pirate Lion and Regent Lion. His Thoroughbred sire, Gipfel, stood in Germany and was known for producing sport horses.
With rider Bruce Davidson, Eagle Lion won the Fairhill CCI***, and the Badminton Horse Trials, becoming the first of only two American horses to win the event.
Artist Jean Clagett commemorated Eagle Lion and Davidson in bronze jumping over the "Head of the Lake" obstacle at the Rolex Kentucky Three Day. The sculpture was mounted at the Kentucky Horse Park during the 2007 Rolex Three Day.
Eagle Lion is one of the only horses to complete the 4-star course at Badminton with no jump penalties and no time penalties four times.
