Mac – A One-in-a-Million Gentle Giant
Located in Essex | Contact: 07903 563930
Mac is a truly special horse – kind, gentle, and full of personality. He’s a joy to handle on the ground, loves attention, a good bath, and is always up for a cuddle.
Standing as a true gentle giant, Mac has done it all: camps, clinics, Pony Club, unaffiliated showjumping, and hunter trials (including placing first in pairs). He’s a proven all-rounder who turns his hoof to anything and does it with heart.
I’ve had the pleasure of owning Mac for just over two years. Prior to that, he came over from Ireland as a 4-year-old and has remained at the same yard since. He was hunted and gradually introduced to a variety of experiences.
Mac hacks out happily both alone and in company, and loves pub rides and fun rides. He’s easy to clip, shoe, load, wash – you name it, he takes it all in stride.
This is a heartbreaking sale through no fault of his own – I’m simply looking for something a bit different.
Mac is ideally suited to a rider who enjoys jumping out hunting and going for long days . He’s a proven hunter with a love for the big country and won’t think twice about flying a hedge – he’s taken on some serious days out, including Quorn, Pytchley, and Belvoir Ladies Days, where he jumped hedges close to 8ft with confidence and style. He’s also happy on quieter days – New Year’s parades, Boxing Day meets, and clean boot or bloodhound hunting.
Always snaffle-mouthed – whether out hunting, hacking, schooling, or in open fields – Mac is responsive and mannerly. He’s versatile and a true weight carrier, yet respectful and careful with lighter riders, making him suitable for a wide range of people.
He can live in or out, goes out with others (though can be playful due to his size), and is just as content turned out solo. He’s easy to catch, has no vices, and is up to date with vaccinations, teeth, physio, and strangles vaccine.
Extras:
Plenty of photos and videos available on request
Full wardrobe of rugs included
Fairfax 17.5” fully adjustable event saddle (professionally fitted regularly) available by separate negotiation
Mac is ready to make someone incredibly happy – he has so much to give.
