Introduction: Longview Memir, known as Mac to his friends, is a charming young horse who oozes personality. He is inquisitive, keen to be part of the action and quick to learn.

Bloodlines: Mac is by Bracknell Musketeer, who was an Australian Champion Arabian Pony, and has produced multiple Australian Champions.
Mac’s dam Nosswick Valkyrie has a list of accolades too long to list, however she jumped at Australian Showjumping titles as a young horse, She has competed Elementary dressage, been used by a disabled riding group and multiple Supreme Champion. Valkyrie has consistently been Tasmanian Pinto of the Year both led and ridden. She is one truly amazing mare.
Valkyrie’s competitive career was cut short due to an injury and her first foal was sold to one of Australia’s leading Grand Prix dressage stables. Mac is her second foal.
Education, handling and behaviour: Mac has been extensively handled and is safe and easy to wash, lead, trim feet and take out and about. He has inherited his dam’s wonderful temperament and can even be led around by the owner’s three year old. Mac is farm, pram, kid and dog safe!
He has been raised in a herd environment and is quite independent from his friends when required. He was weaned late to prevent the development of separation anxiety.

Future Rider Suitability: Mac would suit a buyer with some - even minimal - young horse experience.
