Hal Mack & Ashley King

That's right. Hal Mack was a bold-going hoss.

According to some he was also a nut case

My first Walking Horse memory as a child is sitting in front of Joe Urquhart on top of Hal Mack at Joe's barn on Nashville Hwy in Columbia, TN. I don't remember if he was a nut case, but I do remember the ride. The feel of a good horse is something you can't describe, you can only experience it. All I remember seeing was the top of his legs rising in front of me and having to look around his neck to see where we were going.

Thanks for sharing that with us Stats Man. My memory of Hal Mack was seeing Ashley King show him at the Celebration and wishing my juvenile horse could do that....

I thought that Hal Mack was even better with Mrs. Turrentine before Ashley had him.

Seems like he was owned by someone in KY after Ashley had him. Do you remember anything about that Smitty? Maybe down around Bowling Green / Glasgow way?

Yes, he was in Ky in his latter years, and I saw him show somewhere once. Somebody down around Munfordville trained him. I think he may have been stabled in that red barn on the left as you travel south on I-65. I don't remember who owned him or the name of the trainer. He was still pretty respectable, even in his old age.

On another note, I posted some photos from a LIFE magazine article on here last year. The photos showed Joe Urquhart riding a young horse. That horse WAS Hal Mack, although I don't think I gave his name at the time. Those photos may still be on this forum somewhere, but I'm not sure where to find them.

Didn't Ronal Young work Hal Mack in KY?

Not sure. That does seem to ring a bell though........???

Ramsey and PJ.
On Hal Mack. He spent the early 80's in Virginia. My farrier, Buddy Dixon owned him and showed him a few times a year. He was still a handful to ride at an old age. He was quick and wormy and could scoot out from under you if he wanted.

I don't think that's PJ. He was bay and the picture is not old enough to be Jubilee. May be one of his babies though.
The guy on the left is Sam. I think he works for Chad now. He throws a mean set of horseshoes.

No, not PJ. OHM will have to fill us in.....

That's Buddy Black with the hat and glasses.
