We are looking for a new 5 star home for Merlin. A very sweet, loyal and beautiful pony, with so much potential for a new rider who has high ambitions and competition goals. He shows three excellent gaits, with a particularly outstanding walk and balanced, expressive canter.
All gaits are above average and with the right rider he will make an outstanding international pony and be a FEI team pony.
Merlin has a sweet and easy temperament and is very nice to handle in all situations. Merlin is the perfect pony to travel and compete with. He is energetic and has a personality that will make you smile.
Merlin has never been sick or lame and as he is a homebred we know his full history
Conformation & temperament
Merlin is a true sport pony for children: extremely confident, very practical, he is always attentive and available to his rider, no matter what's going on around him. He has the right bloodline for competitions and is not overly emotional.
Naturally balanced, he offers an excellent canter, a good trot range, and a good walk.
He has been trained with respect for his age and is eager to progress further. There's plenty of room to grow and real potential that hasn't yet been tapped due to his young age, but it's easy to see. Each new exercise never seems overly complicated, and he clearly has the potential for FEI competitions.
Performances
Competed and qualified for the BD young dressage pony championship at 4, 5 and 6 year old.
Competing BD novice and elementary with excellent consistent scores and training medium at home.
Qualified for the Winter championships 2025 at Novice and Novice Freestyle and the Winter Area Festival Championship at Elementary.
The winter champs were Merlin’s first major championship and he did not disappoint. Scoring nearly 70% in the elementary for 7th and it was only his 6th ever elementary test, he also scored over 70% in the Novice freestyle
A new 5-star home for Merlin is sought with a rider who loves this talented pony and has the ability to show him in the international arena in which he can show off like he loves to do the most of all.
