It has been said in Great Britain "If you have a foal from the Lottery Horse it is like winning the lottery". So here is your chance to have a filly in your breeding program with the Lottery Horse as her sire and her Dam "Queenie" who is an amazing "GEM".
Just when you think it couldn't get any better than having that wonderful couple as her parents, "Queenie's sire (Royale's Grandfather) is the one and only Original Kent Horse! It has also been said by a certain Gypsy man in the UK "I'd give a thousand pounds just to walk him in front of the boys." Her dam's, dam (Royale's Grandmother) has The Road Sweeper (UK) in her pedigree (pending information). So needless to say she has greatness running through her veins! Definite ROYALTY.
Royale and I participated in the Gypsy Cob and Drum Horse Classic on May 5th, 2007 in Lexington, Kentucky at the Kentucky Horse Park. We placed 2nd out of 12 entries (competing against aged and seasoned horses, 3 years and over). Everyone seemed to like her at the show and was very impressed with her well behaved manner.
PBS in KY will be broadcasting a story on the Gypsy horses sometime after November 2007. Royale will be one of the stars on that program.
Royale loves to show off, is very willing to do what is asked of her and likes to work and go exploring. She doesn't mind to just go off with me by ourselves.
Royale has been wormed on a regular schedule, up to date on inoculations and trimming. She leads, backs and drives. Royale is saddle broken, however no riding has been done due to her age, and she stands tied and allows her feet to be handled. She will stand for her baths, and loads easily in the trailer. She is a little lady. Carbon copy of her mum "Queenie".
Royale currently is registered with the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society. Her DNA has been typed to verify parentage. Recently, we sent registration papers to the Gypsy Cob Society of America, registration is pending with this registry.
Royale was imprinted at birth and has been handled daily. She was conceived in the UK and was bred for her movement (the prettiest floating little trot), conformation, and temperament, with added flash of colour. This filly is very active and loves to show herself off. She is simply amazing to look at. Beautiful, gorgeous, pony type sweet head, just exactly what the Gypsy people want in this breed. Sweet and intelligent eyes and excellent neck set. She has so much pizazz and charisma. Very charming, polite and mannerly little girl.
