Royal — 8yo Bay Mare, 16.3hh, MW Hunter
Royal is a beautiful, big, bold and incredibly eye-catching 8-year-old bay mare by the prolific sire Avanti Amorous Archie, out of the mare Paxford Pascha, who herself bred multiple HOYS horses for the late Malcolm Rosser.
Standing at approximately 16.3hh and a lovely middleweight hunter stamp, Royal is quite the eyeful and certainly turns heads wherever she goes.
Royal came to me earlier this year following the dispersal of the late Malcolm Rosser’s horses. Although she had been well used as a hacking, hunting and general riding horse, she had never previously been shown.
Since coming to me, she has taken to showing incredibly well. She has done a handful of unaffiliated shows with great success, always giving a lovely, mannerly account of herself. More recently, she was pulled 2nd in a large class of RI MW Hunters at Pembrokeshire County Show her first time taking a ride judge and she went beautifully.
Royal goes well on the flat, with three established paces, the most kind and genuine temperament and has a lovely way of going. We think she would make the most amazing allrounder
Away from the show ring, Royal is a pleasure to ride. She enjoys her hacking, absolutely loves her hunting, and will happily pop around some XC fences. She has been ridden by both ladies and gentlemen and is always ridden in a snaffle.
She is a lovely, big and impressive mare who is a genuine pleasure to have around. She is easy-going, kind and mannerly, with the presence and quality to go on and achieve much more.
She would be very well suited to someone wanting to continue with her showing career, but she could just as easily turn her hoof to dressage, hunting, riding club activities or life as a smart allrounder. We think she would look absolutely insane with a side saddle on
A really lovely mare with so much to offer, the world really is her oyster.
