When Invictus was born, everyone knew immediately how incredibly special and unique he was. Owner and breeder Cindy McGown says, “It is our goal to improve the sire and dam with each generation. I feel Invictus has a lot to live up to, as his pedigree is so breathtaking. Within hours of his birth, I knew he had certain qualities attributed from his lineage that were extreme and would surpass our wildest expectations.” Cindy’s thoughts were voiced by the staff of Royal Arabians. “The morning he (Invictus) was born, it seemed like the whole farm stopped working to admire him,” says Makenzie Gleave, an employee at Royal Arabians. “We had never seen such a perfect little foal, and he sure knew it!”
