The breeding program at Magnolia
Walkers is first and foremost to breed horses with a
high degree of intelligence. I have found over the
years that I can get so much more out of a horse
when he is very intelligent. In addition to
breeding for size, basic colors, bone structure,
good feet, great disposition and, of course, old
fashioned naturally gaited horses, our emphasis is
on INTELLIGENCE!
In my opinion, all of these
qualities come to the forefront in the bloodlines of
Mack K's Handshaker, Rodger's Perfection, Midnight Mack K, and ole Midnight Sun himself.
Although the above mentioned horses were each a bit
different from the other, they all possessed some,
if not all of the traits, we are desiring to
reproduce in each of our horses. It will never be
easy to "get all the coons up in one tree" but that
is our goal.
| It appears that we are coming very
close in this endeavor as our horses learn so
many good things so quickly, some are total
show-offs in demonstrating a repertoire of amusing
tricks, much to the delight of many of our visitors.

This is possible due to their superior intelligence and their superior body construction. We like horses with a natural headset, one that is perpendicular, one that allows him to nod his head in cadence with his feet. We use our horses out in the great outdoors mostly in broken, rough country, through bottoms, creeks, rocky slopes and ledges, around, thru, and over west Texas cactus. Therefore, we want our horses looking for armadillo holes and any other treacherous conditions confronting them. The natural headset also arches the horses neck to make the appearance of a handsome and regal looking horse as he struts his running walk and canter.
Field Trial National Championship
We know our horses are so
versatile that they can be used very successfully in
shows, trail rides, cantering behind wide-ranging
bird dogs in rough, open country or whatever.
This is the result of breeding select individuals
which will be made right. Always with INTELLIGENCE
first!

We strive for free and loose
joints enabling the horse to walk even faster. The
eyes should be large, full and intelligent. We like
a deep bodied horse with a short back, full flanks
and a deep, wide chest. Necks should be set on
sloping, well muscled shoulders. They need to be
long-legged, well boned with curvature in the hind legs enabling them to set
up under the hind quarters giving them enormous
power and smoothness as the front legs reach out
high. We believe the height of the horse has
much to do with his overall conformation, therefore
we are breeding Magnificent Mack K to our largest
mares and getting very good sized horses.
We feel very confident that what we are producing
will do very well in the show rings of the future as
our horses are so graceful with accentuated natural
gaits, and they all do it barefoot. In a
nutshell we are striving to bring back to the breed,
for the pleasure rider, field trialer, trail rider,
and show ring enthusiasts alike, that great, great horse
from the past - - Midnight Mack K!
