Merlin is one of those gems that nearly everyone is looking for. He has the looks, the moves, and the temperament.
He has been a childβs mount for the last 2 years. Proving to be safe and reliable.
Whilst in his current home he has been ridden around their property, accustomed to dogs, horses, tractors and all the comings and goings of a busy horse stud/training facility. Ridden down the road, beach rides, and pony club a couple of times where he was well behaved, demonstrating his good nature. He has done a small amount of jumping, but these days are behind him now.
He has fantastic ground manners and is great to do all cares with. He has been handled by children the last few years and has never displayed any vices.
He is like a big Labrador, he loves attention and seeks out the company of his human.
Over the years he has been paddocked alone and with other horses. Like all horses he enjoys the company of other horses and is well mannered when paddocked with them.
He is not a horse that needs constant work and in fact when his owners got him he hadnβt been ridden in years and the kids jumped straight on and rode him which is quite impressive indeed.
With more woah than go, soft comfortable paces and a soft snaffle mouth he is a pleasure to ride.
As any horse of his age - some age related management will be required for this beautiful boy and ideally looking for a home that is committed to his well being and ongoing care. He is suited to low level flatwork, trails/beach rides, or a reliable farm/plod around. Not selling as a competitive mount.
