Royal is a 15.2 hand, 5 year old, chestnut with a long white blaze/stripe, registered thoroughbred gelding.  He is a beautiful young gelding whose registered name is Counting Missiles.  His bloodlines include some “royal” horses so we decided to give him his new name.  He is the grandson of Spectacular Bid on his dam’s side and the grandson of of A.P. Indy on his sire’s side.  Additionally, Royal is a great-great-great grandson of Secretariat.   He had spent his life to in an all thoroughbred pasture before coming to Doxy’s on December 2, 2012 as a flighty, nervous horse.  By December 31, 2012 Royal had settled right in and has become “one of the crowd”.  He leads well and is very people friendly.

Royal is the perfect horse for someone who’s looking for a project.  He gets along well with other horses, has great ground manners, a great personality, mellow and laid back, and is a very quick learner.  We began lunging him in May 2013.  Royal is not suitable for activities related to jumping   Royal will be trained to ride western using natural horsemanship techniques and has had a saddle on, receptive to the weight but wasn’t crazy about the girth. The adoption fee for this horse is $900.  All excellent homes will be considered.
