Merlin is a full green book Connemara, he is well established in all 3 phases. Same home since a 4 year old, full history known, only for sad sale as owner giving up. He has been to many stay aways, is the same as at home, can be left on his own out or in and doesn’t stress. Hacks alone and in company, used to tractors, dogs, livestock and children.
Good to catch, box shoe, clip etc. no vet history, sweet itch, laminitis or sarcoids.
Has show jumped to 100, is extremely careful, qualified for BS club championships this year with top 2 placings every time out and has placed 2nd, 6th and 14th individually at RC national champs.
XC is his favourite thing, loves water, competes to 90, schooled 100 and has done pairs xc including Eland Lodge championships and has team chased which he excelled at, happy to lead or follow, would make an amazing hunter. Has also arena evented including doing pairs in fancy dress.
Competed to Novice dressage with good scores. Individual placings at RC national champs at both pure dressage and CT. Qualified for BD Quest semi finals in 2025.
Whilst he does everything in a snaffle he is a forward thinking competition horse and is not suitable for a novice. Needs a confident, experienced rider as he can have a playful buck/spook.
Is very easy for one person to take out, stands happily on the lorry. Has recently been out hacking with small children and been foot perfect. Would be a great mother/ daughter share.
Open to any trainer/vet. No loans or LWVTB. Home is very important as he is totally adored but I’ve decided to hang up my boots. Stacks of photos and videos available.
