An Announcement From Roy-El Farm

June 13, 2018

It’s with a heavy heart that Roy-El Farm announces that after 51 years and three generations of the Honstein family breeding and training world class Morgan horses, we will be closing our barn doors in October. It has been our pleasure to serve the Espanola Valley and surrounding area as a center for training, riding instruction, and community service for all these years. We’d like to thank everyone who has supported our farm and loved our horses.

The one thing that stays the same is that things always change, and I'm excited to announce that I'll [Erlene] be following my dreams and career to new locations. New Mexico will always be in my heart and my blood, but my family has decided that at this time we need to be elsewhere. My mother [Debbie] has the opportunity to move into a location that will better suit her care needs and I have the opportunity to move closer to my husband's family and the Florida horse country (and beaches!). The farm will be going up for sale, and while we are sad to see the ending of a family legacy, we are also excited for new adventures. Thank you to all my wonderful friends and clients for the years of success at Roy-El farm in Espanola and supporting this move.

With change, comes opportunities. Roy-El Farm will host one last open house in conjunction with a farm-wide sale. Water troughs, brushes, saddles, bits, tack, fully restored antique four-wheel carriages, two Gerald show carts, and a four wheel fine harness cart, golf carts, feeders, tractor parts, you name it! It will take place September 8 and 9, so please stay tuned for announcements regarding summer fun on the farm and news of garage and estate sales.
