CLICK TO DOWNLOAD OUR MARE BREEDING CONTRACT FOR MAX
Max was purchased as a 4 yr old by owner Flo Houlton; after coming to Canada from Texas with trainer Neil Collison who started him. Max started in John Swales training program in the fall of 2008. After only a few months, he was ready for his first appearance in the show pen. They showed in the Hackamore classes in 2009 earning $13,626, and 2010 brought more successes as Max continued to progress into the bridle classes totalling $13,525. 2011 started with a great show in San Angelo, Texas at the NRCHA World Show where Max placed 4th in the Open Bridle Finals; competing against the best of the best in his first year in a bridle! 2011 landed "Max" a 3rd place finish at the NRCHA Stakes Bridle Spectacular, a third consecutive Championship at the Calgary Stampede Working Cow Horse Classic and a Reserve Championship at the Canadian Supreme in the Open Bridle Finals! An outstanding highlight of his career has been his 5th place finish in the preliminaries of the Worlds Greatest Horseman event, one of the NRCHA's premiere events which includes herd work, steer stopping, reining and fence work! Scores of 222 in the herd work, 219 in the reining & 220 in the fence work shows how well rounded his talents are.
In February 2013 Max placed 5th in the Open Bridle Finals at the NRCHA World Show the Celebration of Champions. The fall of 2013 also brought a Reserve Championship at the Alberta Snaffle Bit Futurity & Horse Show Open Bridle Spectacular. 2014 brought Max his 4th consecutive Calgary Stampede Cow Horse Classic championship, this year, in the Open Bridle again. The Calgary Stampede win pushed Max's NRHCA earnings over the $25,000 mark allowing him to receive his NRHCA Supreme Cow Horse Merit Award at the 2014 Celebration of Champions in Fort Worth Texas February 20, 2015! Prior to the awards banquet, Maximum Echo wowed the crowds of the John Justin Arena in Texas in the finals winning the NRCHA 2014 World Championship scoring a 220 in the reining and a HUGE 232 in the fence work! His win was a spectacular 17.5 points ahead of the reserve champion! Watch the incredible run.
After some time-off, just being a horse, Max was legged up and shown in the 2016 Zylkene Canada’s Greatest Horseman event. This was a featured event at the Alberta Snaffle Bit Futurity and it offered up $10,000 to the winner; you guessed it, Max did it again and won this 4-event competition with style and excellence... another proud moment for Flo, John & Max himself!
His current LTE, as of January 2016, are $73,718!
Max's quiet intensity and extreme trainability has allowed him to flourish in the aged events and adapt to the progressive training regime willingly and happily. Max is a huge stopper, he's quick and cowy. His talents are achievable due to his desirable confirmation; he is strong and a very good mover. He has impeccable frame as he travels allowing him to be in good position and react to a cow on the fence or out of a herd. His cow sense is intense and his personality is unique. He is easy to get a long with and he has sensitive and gentle mannerisms. This good minded nature is one that every mare owner would appreciate. Max's first foal crop arrived spring of 2011; and we thrilled with how they are maturing and with their tremendous eye appeal! Max continues to be a desired sire for mare owners looking to excel in working cow horse competitions!
