Merlin was born black-black, as well as big and beautiful! He is an outstanding pleasure-trail family-amateur horse prospect. He has tall size and a look-at-me presence while still being friendly!

Merlin will be good for a taller rider, and shows many athletic moves. He should be an excellent pleasure, recreational and/or endurance prospect. He is well-muscled and curious natured. His dam is known for giving her babies smart and friendly dispositions. Merlin has been trailered and has had his hooves trimmed. Merlin has also been started on trail walking in the woodland trails at Gracewood Farm, also crossing fallen logs and ravines. He should be an outstanding pleasure-trail horse prospect like his mother is.
