Glastonbury  is named for a town in Britain.   Glastonbury is a former island in the Somerset marshes associated with Avalon. Glastonbury is overlooked by the Tor, a majestic hill of power and home to the king of the fairies, Gwyn ap Nudd, who is reputed to like visitors.  

Legend has it that, shortly after the Crucifixion, Joseph of Arimathaea built the first Christian church where the abbey ruins now stand. King Arthur was buried here, and Glastonbury has been home to Saints Patrick, Dunstan, David and Bridget.

Glastonbury brings together the best of British breeding:  The mighty Shire and the athletic Thoroughbred.  It only seems appropriate that he's named for a special and mystical place in Britain.
