Though I breed CMK horses I have the utmost respect for Mark Mayo who raises 
Straight Egyptians and has for many, many yrs. Mark Mayo has a working cattle 
ranch in Beaver, Oklahoma and he uses his horses. He had put on the most 
wonderful "Ultimate Trail Horse" demo I have ever seen at the 1997 CMK/Al 
Khamsa Showcase in Texas. He went through a custom designed trail course 
which included shooting a gun, walking over a seesaw bridge with balloons 
underneath that popped has he walked across, picked up live chickens out of a 
barrel and carried them among other amazing things. Then Mr Mayo removed ALL 
the tack from his horse and repeated the course completely tackless! 

My farrier, Larry,  happen to grow up next to Mark Mayo and his father also 
had a working cattle ranch.  Larry told me in the spring when neighbors got 
together for branding and shots and whatever that Mark would work all day on 
one horse and the following day where everyone else went through 6 horses a 
day. Impressed all those old cowboys...
