This beautiful 17 hand sorrel stallion boasts the highest concentration of that great old time Mack K blood of any horse in the country.  Possessed of great conformation, size, bone, wonderful disposition and most importantly, he has the gaits!

After owning and riding Walking Horses from various bloodlines for over thirty years, and using them at bird dog field trials in major competitions all over the United States (which are very demanding on a horse), I was introduced by a fellow competitor to a Mack K-bred horse.  

After my own horses were completely worn out, this fellow loaned me his horse to ride so that I might complete the running of my bird dogs in the Championship. I rode his Mack K horse for three consecutive days and although I won the field trial, I was more excited about the horse I rode. Never have I been on a horse so well gaited, so strong, so willing and at 16.3 hands, so gentle.

This began my search for Mack K blood. I am proud to own Magnificent Mack K., and very pleased that he is passing on all of these wonderful traits to his off-spring.

As evidence of the unusually mild disposition of the Mack K bloodline, let me share with you my proof of the extra-ordinary disposition of our stallion, Magnificent Mack K.

Having acquired him solely for breeding purposes as a yearling, and securing a herd of mares to breed him to, we have done that in the last few years. Observing the size, beauty and wonderful gaits of his progeny, most visitors to the farm would ask, "Can we ride him?  How long did it take to break him?"  "Was he hard to break?" "He's so big, I bet it took a lot to handle and break him?"

Now that I am offering him to stud by private treaty and offering for sale, many of his off-spring, all of my family members have been telling me that most prospective breeders and buyers will probably want to first see Magnificent Mack K under saddle. 

Acknowledging that this would be the case, I set out to find a younger man to break him to ride.  (I'm 64 yrs. old). I know this horse to be an extremely gentle giant, having spent much time in his stall with him, hand breeding him to several mares, personally attending to his scrapes and bruises, hand feeding, teaching him to park out, picking up his feet regularly leading him to and from the automatic walker for
exercise, grooming, bathing, and brushing. 

However, due to his large size and his being a breeding stallion all his life with no one ever on his back, there was no one remotely interested in attempting the task of saddle breaking him.  Magnificent Mack K had never had a blanket, saddle or rider on him ever!  He'll be 6 yrs. old this November.

This past Wednesday morning, Aug.11th, as I was enjoying my early morning coffee I thought, 'What the hell, I know this horse - he knows me'.  Before any of the ranch hands arrived for work, I went to the barn, brought Magnificent Mack K outside,  and put him on the walker for 15-20 minutes.  After unhooking him from it, I brushed him, fussed with his mane and tail, and as he just stood there with me, both of us enjoying the quiet, peaceful morning, I gently put a blanket on him.  Since he readily accepted the blanket, I then put a saddle on him.  Again no problem.  I slipped a bosal on his head;  he said okay!  Slapping the leather seat, girth strap, and stirrups against his body for a few minutes elicited no apparent concern about any of it.  I slowly, but deliberately mounted this mountain of a horse.  After rubbing both sides of his neck and front shoulders for a few minutes, I urged him to move forward and it began!

About 30 minutes later, my youngest daughter, Lindsay, looking out the kitchen window, saw me go by on my now happily strutting, head shaking, wonderfully smooth horse.  Assuming at first I was atop Magnificent Mack K's son, Triple Mack K, she thought little of it, as we've been training Triple Mack for some 5 months.  However, upon her second look she realized I was not on Triple Mack, but Magnificent Mack K himself.  She came running out of the house, obviously distressed, but quietly and pointedly asked, "Dad, what are you thinking? What are you doing?"

I calmly replied as I rode by, "I am enjoying the most "magnificent" ride of my life".
