Several hunter /jumper folks told me as well as others that just from the photo that they could tell that Mac had great hands meaning that his hands were light, he had her perfect on the bit and his riding ability was excellent. All Mac's jumps are perfect with balance. I too asked when I first heard the comment in Wellington, Fl. what was meant by the comment, "Wow he has great hands" I always kept the picture up at our stall in competitions. I was amazed that so many people could tell so much just from a photo. Zsa Zsa jumps 4 ft with a 6 ft spread. Paso Fino's can be very amazing equines. At the Battle of the Breeds in 1995 in Ocala, Zsa Zsa did the speed jumping event and won over 9 other breeds. The Olympic team was there performing and watched the event and were very imprressed with her ability. Zsa Zsa also came in second in the barrel competition, 2 seconds under Squeak Larkins barrel champion who had won the Southeastern regional barrel championship that year! She has tremendous hind quarter strenght!

Your placement in county is outstanding and I congradulate you on alot of dedicated work and abilities. If your ever headed for Williston and wish to meet Mac or call just to talk to him email me and I'll give you his info, it will be an incrediable moment. Next time your at a show ask around to some of the older generations if they have heard of Mac? He has some pictures hanging on his wall of Hunter jumpers he's trained in the past. Rolen Speckelburg (not sure of spelling) and others. Some of the picture are amazing, I should scan them and get them on this site!
