Meet Merlin<\/p>\n

Full up 16hd 6yr Irish Draft gelding<\/p>\n

Sire: Rockrimmon Robusticus
\nGrand Sire: Castana
\nDam Sire: Mountain Pearl<\/p>\n

Lovely allrounder \/ RC horse.<\/p>\n

Super chilled boy who\u2019s schooling nicely on the flat (but can be a little lazy) and jumping small fences well. He comes into a fence nice and steady and just gives everything enough jump. Currently seems comfortable around 70cm, I\u2019m sure as he gets fitter and stronger this will improve.<\/p>\n

Doesn\u2019t seem spooky or silly at all.<\/p>\n

Previously been to:
\n\u2022 Beach rides
\n\u2022 Arena hires
\n\u2022 Unaffiliated dressage (1st at Intro with 70.9%)
\n\u2022 Unaffiliated clear round<\/p>\n

Merlin is good to hack alone and in company.
\nGreat to clip and for the farrier.<\/p>\n

Merlin can be prone to a tight back which is currently managed with regular physiotherapy. For this reason, he would not be suited to a jumping-focused home but would excel as a lovely allrounder or riding club horse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
