Scottsdale Success...and Las Vegas Ahead By THERESA CARDAMONE

Over the past several years, Cindy McGown and Mark Davis, along with daughter Amanda Fraser, have steered their Royal Arabians into becoming one of the industryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leaders. Always a formidable presence at major horse shows, Royal Arabians and their clients posted a host of wins at the 2019 Scottsdale All-Arabian Horse Show. Among the many highlights was the show debut of Royal Asselah (Royal Asad x R Arabella), the first Asad baby to compete. She won her class and was the Scottsdale International Arabian Breeder Reserve Champion Yearling Filly with trainer Rodolfo Guzzo. Led by Amanda Fraser, Royal Asselah was also the Signature Stallion Auction Reserve Champion Yearling Filly AOTH. The Royal offspring of Halyr Meia Lua each earned at least a Top Five. In one of the largest classes of the show, Amanda showed Royal Theodosia (Halyr Meia Lua x Aria Marchestra) to a win in her section and brought home the Signature Stallion Reserve Champion Yearling Filly honors. Amandaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husband, Daniel Pagan, won the Scottsdale Junior Filly AAOTH Championship with the Halyr daughter, Royal Fantazia (Halyr Meia Lua x RA Princess Jamaal). On the performance side, resident trainer Justin Cowden guided TN Khaliente (SF Veraz x TN Khemarie) to the Signature Stallion Hunter Pleasure Futurity Champion 3 & 4 Years title. Justin

Every contemporary Arabian horse enthusiast is aware of the perpetual success enjoyed by Royal Arabians and their clients at North America’s most prestigious shows, and the leadership position that Royal has risen to in the breed. While some seek to force such dynamic change, Cindy McGown and Mark Davis have taken a more organic approach while transforming Royal Arabians from a small, private farm in Arizona, into a breeding and training center of global importance. With Cindy’s longtime vision as a blueprint, Royal Arabians has evolved into one of the most complete, in-demand enterprises in the industry. Yet, in spite of enlarging their global footprint, Royal has maintained a strong feeling of family among their diverse client base. Cindy McGown takes pride in Royal’s trajectory from its relatively humble beginnings. “I am very proud of the Royal Arabians team and am hopeful that our success encourages more small breeders to follow their passion to breed good horses,” she states. “The small breeders are the true backbone of this industry. I want all to feel welcome at Royal; to share the love we breeders have for the Arabian horse.”

Cindy and Mark have achieved an enviable balance between creating a comfortable environment while remaining extremely competitive. “My vision for Royal always included global success since we were very successful in other businesses on a global level,” Cindy explains. “It was more a

are treated with honesty and

Cindy McGown has a number of transformational ideas that would strengthen the business and promote the Arabian horse. “I feel we market to each other in this industry,” she comments. “We need to market to the outside public in the appropriate demographic to encourage more people to participate, both at the local level as well as the national level.” Expanding industry-wide marketing plans to better support people showing their own horse and being competitive at a very low expense are important to Cindy. “I also believe more amateur classes would improve the potential for new growth in the industry at all levels. We need marketing plans as an industry that promote the Arabian horse to a broader market and encourage new members via mentoring. The Arabian Horse Association could do much more to promote the Arabian horse and the lifestyle that comes with it outside their membership to encourage new people to try this

integrity, as I feel that the lack of honesty is one of the industry’s pitfalls. As a group we need to demand fair competition and stand up for what is right. I have heard many times about corruption in the judging. While I have personally seen great improvement in this area, if it exists, we need to take action to stop it. No one wants to participate in a sport if they feel they can’t win because it’s unfair.” Fortunately, Cindy and Mark are among those in the Arabian world who are willing to take on the problems as well as enjoy the benefits of the industry. At the same time, they are expanding their global profile by exhibiting on the European circuit and cultivating new members for the Royal “family tree.” It is an eagerly anticipated, ambitious agenda. When asked what she is most looking forward to this year,

Cherished relationships are the ones that survive the passage of time, where people experience real feelings enjoying common passions... like Arabian horses.

LA Salalah HK Sweet Festiva

We are connected to Royal Arabians and look to continue in the same way for years to come ... to enjoy, to live, to breed, to cry, to experience real happiness through the Arabian horse.
