With excellent movement, great conformation, good bone and a wonderful temperament, this colt will develop into a powerful horse for dressage or breeding. He is a fine example of the pure Spanish Horse.

Merlin is an extremely curious and independent colt, who is already showing great balance, co-ordination and athleticism in his movement.

Show Results
Heytesbury Show February 2009 - Open stallion & colt (led): 3rd place on his first outing

ACE assessment 27th January 2010:

We had Merlin assessed by Gerd Küst from the ACE Group in the 2 year old section, and are very pleased with his results, being awarded 8s for his canter, swing & elasticity and his neck, for 74.75% in total. The comments were "Compact, uphill constructed, nice neck, good round canter". He was ranked in third place nationally.

We do feel that we let him down a little, however, as we 'pulled him out of the paddock just prior to the inspection and had not done work in walking and trotting out in hand due to Sarah breaking her arm before the big event. In fact, the first time that he had trotted in hand was at the inspection!
