Barons Honest McCue, or as I called him "Myckee", is a 1986 chestnut quarter horse. I bought him in the summer of 1990. At this time he was a green-broke 4 year old who knew very little.
Myckee helped me through that tough transition from college to the real career-world. I graduated from college in 1990, and moved several hours from all of my friends and family to take a new job. My secondary job was to train Myckee to be the all-around horse I wanted.
Myckee's best classes were the hunt seat events, including jumping! He had a natural long, sweepy trot, and carried himself nicely. He and I became true partners as we went on to show and win in many different events. Myckee became an excellent equitation horse. He was wonderful at patterns, and sometimes I would only have to think the pattern, and he would perform it!

Myckee also did western (not as good as his English classes, though!), and was a push-button showmanship horse. When I showed him, it was an all-day affair!

I owned Myckee from June 1990 to October 1995. He taught me a lot, and gave me a chance to try a lot of different show classes. He was also my first experiment in horse training, and I learned a ton about horse training with this experience!
