Malibu is a 2022 AQHA yearling mare by VT owned stallion Vested Royalty. This stallion was known for his easy handling and intelligence and earned 160 AQHA heeling points in team roping.... (read more) His offspring also include multiple Superiors in western pleasure. Vested Royalty was a son of Investment Creditor, a NSBA Stallion Owners Futurity Champion, earner of AQHA points in western pleasure, and top ten finalist at AQHA World. Investment Creditor’s offspring have earned over 4 thousand AQHA points and 61 ROM awards. Other notable bloodlines include The Big Investment, whose offspring have earned 73 ROMs, as well as The Investor, sire of 4 AQHA world champions. Malibu is the last offspring of Vested Royalty who passed away last year. Malibu’s dam, Envy Me Only, is a granddaughter of Invitation Only, AQHA All Time Leading Sire of Point Earners and NSBA Hall of Fame stallion. Invitation Only has sired 210 World, Congress, and Reserve champions across multiple AQHA disciplines. Malibu is sure to have a promising western career.

This intelligent yearling is a part of our Equine Youngstock Training and Marketing course and has been desensitized to many novel stimuli and obstacles. Malibu stands calmly for tying, picking up feet and grooming. She has loads into a stock type trailer. By the time of sale we anticipate she will additionally carry a saddle and wear a bridle, as well as lunge at the walk, trot, and canter.

The following paperwork will be provided in her sale portfolio: AQHA registration papers, health record with vaccine, deworming and farrier records since birth, current Coggins, and a health certificate if traveling out of state lines.
