Triple Royal - 68+% Royal King - Foundation Quarter Horse Herd Sire for Eaton Quarter Horses.
Triple Royal and Earnest McDougal - "Pals" until Mr. McDougal's death.
Triple Royal, Sorrel Stallion, AQHA #500,074, May, 1967, foal, 68%+ Royal King bloodlines, bred by Earl Albin, Comanche, Texas, sold to Earnest McDougal, October 22, 1968, who used him at stud until 1980.
He was trained for cutting as a 3-year-old by Weldon Mconnell, but was not shown as Mr. McDougal wouldn't let him be kept overnight away from home.
McDougal Brothers inherited him September 18, 1980, and continued to breed mares to him until April 16, 1988, when he was sold to Ben and Diane Eaton, Eaton Quarter Horses, Grapeview, Washington.
We used him for 3 breeding seasons until his death in September, 1990.
