Royalty, redefined - literally. VJ Royal Heir is a superlative sire of absolutely spectacular show horses. By percentage of winners, he undoubtedly hovers at the top no questions asked. Consistently siring that extra "sparkle" which elevates and puts his foals right under that championship spotlight - the highest honors achieved at Regional competition including the competitive Region's 12 & 14, red rose blankets at the United States National Championships, and of course tri-color ribbons under the desert sky out in Scottsdale. His influence leaves an indelible mark on all corners of the country. A pedigree backed to the hilt by what is needed in today's competitive English Pleasure division -- Afire Bey V, MHR Nobility, El Ghazi, Pro-Fire, and of course Mikado - the full brother to breed legend Bay El Bey! Don't take our word for it... peruse this photo gallery of his National Champion sons and daughters -- and then ask yourself... "what am I waiting for?"!
To say we’re proud of the siring ability of VJ Royal Heir would be an understatement. Percentages alone, VJ Royal Heir is topping the charts as the sire of today’s finest English performance horses winning top spots across the country in a multitude of divisions. A blending of Afire Bey V, Brass, MHR Nobility, Wisdom, El Ghazi, *Bask++, Pro-Fire, and Mikado ++ — he simply eliminates any guesswork on one’s breeding decision – perhaps the only thing to roll the dice on is whether you’ll get a c**t or filly… not very often in breeding horses is that your only “worry”.
We’re thrilled for the success, and the tremendous accomplishments, of all the offspring at this year’s 2024 Scottsdale Arabian Horse Show sired by multi-National Champion VJ Royal Heir. We salute the breeders, who are the most important, for their vision and fortitude in breeding their very best mares to VJ Royal Heir in order to produce the very athletes we are all so lucky to enjoy. The trainers, the owners, the amateur riders — so many play a pivotal role in this great breeding stallion’s success and the success and evolution our of English division within the Arabian horse industry.
Enjoy a photo gallery of winners below and join us in congratulating the breeders, the owners, the trainers, and the riders who rode to top honors at one of the country’s finest horse shows! VJ Royal Heir proudly stands at stud here in Georgia. He is nominated to the Breeders Sweepstakes, Arabian English Performance Association, and Region 12 Spotlight Futurity.

Richard and Janet Thompson were the very first breeders to select BENTLEY SF for their mare Coco Jullyen HPF back in 2017. The result of this cross was the very beautiful bay stallion CRUISE CONTROL HPF. Coco Jullyen HPF is a daughter of Jullyen El Jamaal and out of the Fame VF daughter Aphrodite FA, who is out of a Padron daughter who is out of a Tornado daughter - does it get much finer? We think not. The blending of these great horses culminated into one very, very special horse. Cruise Control HPF, already very accomplished was 2021 Region 8 Champion Western Pleasure Junior Horse and went on to to win the 3 & 4 Year Old Western Pleasure Junior Horse class at Scottsdale this year. Of course, not to be outdone -- he gave a picture perfect presentation at this year's 2022 U.S. Nationals and placed third in the prestigious AWPA $100,000 Arabian Western Pleasure Futurity with trainer Josh Quintus. It's fair to say BENTLEY SF is proving himself to be a sire of great significance producing beauty, tractability, and superb athletic ability. Bentley SF stands here in Georgia and we welcome breeding inquiries for the 2023 breeding season. Nominated to all the programs - Arabian Western Pleasure, Scottsdale Signature, Spotlight Futurity, and Breeders Sweepstakes -- he really takes the guesswork out of breeding for the ideal. A tremendous out cross for the breed's Desperado V, Padrons Psyche, and Jullyen El Jamaal bred mares. • SouthernOaksFarmLLC.com

This talented team is quite literally the definition of UNPARALLELED excellence. Beautiful since the day he was born, this exceptional son of VJ Royal Heir has had a tremendous 2022 show season capturing some of the top spots around the country with owner Katherine Kirby. Bred by Josephine Fazio, Unparalleled is sired by VJ Royal Heir and out of Afairytale, a daughter of the Triften son Aficinado and out of the Afire Bey V daughter Afirey Crystal to Le Fire. The pair were Scottsdale Reserve Champions in the Country English Pleasure AAOTR division and won both the championships at Region 12 and Region 13 respectively. Of course all this goodness culminated in their subsequent win in Tulsa as 2022 U.S. Reserve National Champions in Arabian Country English Pleasure AAOTR 19-39. Congratulations to the Kirby Arabians LLC of South Dakota and the Stachowski Farm for a wonderful year with such a beautiful horse • SouthernOaksFarmLLC.com

One of the most esteemed classes at the U.S. Nationals is the Western Pleasure Futurity -- it's one of those "can't miss" classes as the quality just gets better and better raising the bar to a new level each year -- and this year was definitely no exception. Our congratulations to the Harper Arabians on the tremendous success of their beautiful REDEMPTION HA who was crowned 2022 U.S. Reserve National Champion Western Pleasure Futurity with Mr. Josh Quintus. REDEMPTION HA has sparkled since the very beginning and we couldn't be more happy for the Harper's who were one of the first breeders to choose Bentley SF. REDEMPTION HA, by Bentley SF, is out of the lovely Heartbreaker RA, herself sired by the great Magnum Psyche and out of Windborne Music, by *Padron, who also traces to *Aladdinn, *Bask ++, and *Serafix. We're absolutely thrilled for your success and big win at the U.S. Nationals -- if this gives any glimpse into the future, well all we can say is "buckle up"... this horse is big time! 🌹• SouthernOaksFarmLLC.com

Ahead of the rest... Lori-Kay Frommann Frye was one of the first to breed to our BENTLEY SF and his first Half-Arabian to be born... to say the results were magical, well that would be an understatement. It's not so often you hear the words bred, owned, and shown by in the same sentence over the loud speaker when they call you for National Champion -- and we are absolutely thrilled for Lori and her once-in-a-lifetime horse -- MIA BELLA ROSA LK 🌹2022 United States National Champion Half-Arabian Western Pleasure AAOTR Maturity. Not only winning the red rose garland in the maturity, Mia Bella Rossa LK also was Top Ten (4th!) in the AWPA Half-Arabian $75,000 Futurity with trainer Josh Quintus and topped an already fantastic show as 2022 U.S. National Top Ten Half-Arabian Performance Halter Mares AAOTH as well... congratulations to everyone on making memories that most definitely will last forever • SouthernOaksFarmLLC.com

Southern Oaks Farm, situated in South Florida, and owned by Kelli Aguirre, is home to an outstanding collection of Arabian horses that includes the decorated (and celebrated) VJ Royal Heir, the 2013 United States National Champion Junior English Pleasure horse and the 2014 United States National Champion Open English Pleasure with trainer Joel Kiesner.
With a pedigree as English as they come, VJ Royal Heir (Afires Heir x MA Ghazta Trot, by El Ghazi) has the line of supreme potential in the show ring. And this potential is lived up to every time the 5-year-old stallion trots into the arena. He wears his supreme line of champions and producers in every high step that he takes, in every flicker of his ears as something catches his eye, and in every championship ribbon he takes home. For proud owner Kelli Aguirre, VJ Royal Heir is a dream.
“I think he IS his pedigree. I have heard from so many people how much he resembles the horses from his lineage. If you could take all the great things from the horses in his pedigree and create your own horse, I think VJ Royal Heir would be that horse.” This amalgamation of traits is the explanation behind the ease in which he performs in the show ring. Winning the 2013 Unanimous U.S. National Champion Arabian English Pleasure Junior Horse, everyone in Ford Truck Arena was on Royal Heir’s team as he owned the show ring. Aguirre shares, “As I have said many times, he is perfectly conformed to do his job. He has a long, stretchy, upright neck that allows him to have so much softness and flexibility in the bridle. With a short back and extremely long legs, trotting around the ring looks effortless for him. Honestly, he doesn’t even look like he is working because all of the moving parts simply come together through years of careful breeding to enable him to be the best English horse ever bred.”
And in the breeding side of what VJ Royal Heir has to offer, Aguirre addresses what she has seen in his babies so far. “I see him in all of the babies that I have had the pleasure of having at my farm. I think because he wears his pedigree, we are seeing in his offspring the same. All the babies are out of dams that have no similarities in breeding whatsoever, and yet each of the babies resembles one another. They all have beautiful faces and big eyes and long, stretchy, shapely necks just like their father. They are big and long legged and look to be talented babies.” Beyond the aesthetics, Kelli shares, “They also all have wonderful dispositions and are extremely bright and trainable. They are people-loving horses just like Royal Heir.”
A stallion that is proving himself in and out of the show ring, VJ Royal Heir gives Aguirre much to be proud of and look forward to, especially in terms of the excitement he inspires. “There are so many exciting things about owning this stallion that I don’t know that I can name just one. If I had to pick something, it would be people’s response to him. It’s the passionate way that they talk about him and look at him—the same way that I felt about him when I first saw him as a 3-year-old.” Kelli builds on this, saying, “You see a horse that is the most perfect horse you’ve ever seen with the neck and the size and the short back and the beauty and charisma, and it just takes your breath away. From there, you can only hope that others will see that one day, too. Right now, sharing him with the Arabian horse world is the most exciting thing for me.” A bright stallion with a pedigree, a budding show record, and a promising breeding future, VJ Royal Heir will spend his precious time off multi-tasking in both the training and breeding realms of the Arabian industry—an industry in which he has boundless potential and, at the moment, no limits in sight.
