2011

We had psychic medium and animal communicator Angie Aristone come into our barn to talk to our horses, and we are more than happy to say it was a huge success! It was fascinating to learn each horse’s personality, and hear the stories they shared with us, what they liked, and what they didn’t like. 16 different horses were read, including a few who shipped into the barn for the occasion. We learned a ton about our horses. A huge thank you to Angie for everything.

—

We are looking forward to the upcoming 2012 show season and have many new partnerships in our barn. Congratulations to all on the purchases or leases of your new horses and ponies.

Magic, having been at the Royal before, received a 1st, 3rd, 4th, and 5th, claiming the title of Medium Pony Champion 2011. In the night class against all pony sizes, Magic finished 5th.
