| This might be of no help, but...I have shown several Boston Mac grand babies however they were either halter or pleasure horses...but they were conformational correct/sound and had great minds. |

| I had a Boston Mac gelding who was an awesome calf roping horse. Bought him for my ex to learn how to calf rope on, sold him, and bought him back for my kids. He was the most honest and kind horse I have ever had the pleasure of owning. Had to put him down at the ripe old age of 27. Still miss him to this day. |

     Location: Northwest | I had a Boston Mac granddaughter a few years back and I only owned her for less than a year. Not my favorite. She was pretty good minded, had a HUGE butt, very small feet (I looked at others by her sire and it seemed to be a strong trait-"Mac Roanie" was the sire). I was hoping she'd have a bit more speed than she did because she was Easy Jet bred on the mare's side but she was kind of laid back and not very quick. The people who bought her turned her into a rope horse and she did fine. |

| I had a granddaughter decades ago. Best barrel horse I've ever had. She was tall and fine featured, could run a hole through the wind and was so smooth and graceful. She never looked like she was running. I don't know if that's the Boston Mac, the other 20 horses that made up her pedigree or her training but I'd take 10 more just like her. |

| Boston Mac was a nice horse. Had a speed index of something like 98
Had halter points. That was back in the day when horse did it all, race, performance, halter. |

       Location: When you hit the middle of nowhere .. Keep driving | This skinny horse I just bought is a grand daughter. I knew her 10+ years ago and she could run a nice set of poles and barrels. She's very feminine and fine boned as well. |
