Why The Match With Macklemore?
Height
Benzy and Macklemore are a perfect match, harmonizing like yin and yang. Both horses are tall and powerful — standing at 1.65m/16.1 hh and 1.68m/16.3 hh respectively — which significantly increases the likelihood of producing a foal with impressive height, strong presence, and an undeniable aura. Their physical stature alone sets the stage for a remarkable offspring, suited for a variety of disciplines and purposes.

Together, they balance each other beautifully, blending robustness with grace in a way that few pairings achieve.
