Mac

Crabapple Hollow Macintosh, “Mac” for short, is a 13-year-old Clydesdale gelding (male) with striking white markings and long, white hair on his legs called “feathers.” Clydesdales originated in Scotland as one of the smaller draft breeds, but have been bred to be taller to look more impressive in parades & shows. Mac is well known on campus as one of the biggest horses at the barn, as he stands around 17 hands high and weighs close to 1,200 pounds! But don’t let his size fool you – Mac is a gentle giant, and is great at his job as a therapy horse, helping students gain important skills in riding & driving sessions.
