Sheep Rider may be okay, although it would be more appropriate for its ability to affect only attacking or blocking creatures, since that is what white does. Eagle Rider and Pheldagriff rider are definitely out of flavour. Eagles and Pheldagriffs have wings, which means they either have flying or can gain flying, which neither of your cards does. (This is a non-negotiable point set down by Wizards. Cards whose art would feature a flying creature or a creature with wings must be capable of flight.) Furthermore, each of these creatures has effectively twice the power they seem to have, since they can attack and then tap to pump themselves (because they have Vigilance). That makes Eagle Rider and Pheldagriff far too powerful at their current mana costs.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

I just wrote down a random creature, what creature would you like them to be?

Warhorse (although "Warhorse Rider" sounds kind of silly), Buffalo, Ostrich (silly, but also unique), Unicorn, Camel, Lion

Sheep rider is a better version of Angelic Page.

Eagle Rider needs to have flying

Anything with Pheldagriff in its name needs to have the casting cost of 1UWG and have three abilities tied to those colors.

Sheep Rider isn't necessarily better than Angelic Page, since vigilance is simply a different ability than flying. It's pump ability is better, but now that I look at Kabuto Moth, it seems that's allowed. As far as the other two go, though, they still need a lot of work. I agree with Asmoranomardicodais' opinion about the Pheldagriff -- it just isn't a good name for the card. The Eagle should have its name changed, rather than be given flying. I also wish to reiterate how dangerous it is to couple the pump ability with vigilance.

Eagle Rider is a 4/4 for 2W.
Considering how strong Kitsune Blademaster is strong in limited, this one would probably be broken.
