Our History

History of MK Horse Walkers

MK Horse Walkers has a rich history rooted in innovation, quality, and a passion for equine care. Founded in 1995 by the de Swart family in the Netherlands, Molenkoning (MK) began with a clear vision: to create the best horse walkers in the world. What started as a small family-run business soon grew into Europe's leading manufacturer of horse exercisers, known today as "the king of horse walkers."

The de Swart family recognized the need for reliable, safe, and efficient horse exercise equipment, and through years of dedication and craftsmanship, MK became synonymous with top-tier horse walkers. Their innovative designs, which prioritize both the horses' comfort and owners' ease of use, quickly set them apart from competitors. Each MK horse walker is built with hot-dip galvanized steel for superior durability and resistance to the elements, a hallmark of the brand’s commitment to quality.
