Everyone who visits the farm comments on Royal’s majesty. He’s active in pasture; relocating for a better view, always showing off.

First time trimming his feet this afternoon since I took over the herd. He’s a dream. I’m a lucky girl!

I’m sure I’ll regret this…

Very fancy, correct, bred in the purple TIH c**t available as GELDING. By Royal out of French bred Ballingerry dam. Can’t fault him for anything. Perfect legs, proportions, open gaits, good character. Excellent prospect for the future. He’s everything a breeder could hope for!

Available to performance home AS A GELDING. If he stays, will be brought along as a stallion prospect.
