It was lovely, watching Merlin change into such a companionable pony over the Summer months, and we all adored his snowy white coat. Our little bachelor herd had settled down, and between Toffee and Merlin there existed something of a truce, so long as a certain distance was kept!
As the weather cooled towards late Summer, we took Merlin for plenty of walks around the lanes.
When we take Merlin out on the roads, he wears his 'Monty Roberts' Dually, which gives me a little more control than just a simple head collar, but doesn't have any impact on his mouth in the way a bridle would. I've used the Dually on all my boys and can't praise it enough as it is soooo effective, but not harsh at all and as you can see from this picture, Merlin is nice and relaxed :)
