Royale is easy to catch, leads, loads, ties, good for the farrier, nice at the walk, trot, and lope. She has been on tons of trails and is awesome in the woods, up and down hills, through trees, heavy brush, anything you point her at. She has been ridden English as well and does well. She knows leg cues as well as rein, and responds well to seat and voice. She has been lightly gamed and does not get hot. She will only go as fast as you want her to. She has been to 4-h shows and handles everything well. She ponies other horses well. Carries flags, drags logs. She has a good, ground covering walk without being too fast and is super smooth at the trot and lope. She is sound and rides out fine barefoot, even on rocks. She has been used for lessons a lot this year and does fantastic with the kids, however I see her getting bored and wanting more. She is really in her element out on the trails. She would also Excell in Western Dressage.
