It was sooo beautiful at the field this morning, and the boys had a thoroughly good time, rolling and playing. Unfortunately my camera ran out of juice, so I couldn't get all the pictures I wanted.
Amazingly, this afternoon the snow had thawed enough for me to do a little work with Toffee and Merlin, and Merlin seemed to catch on at last to being touched gently with a carrot stick, although this still needs a lot of work!
He just looks adorable when he is in a picture with snow but it dosent meen he dosent look adorable in any other pictures!By the way you look very clever in the pictures with him i meen even i cant stroke or teach or even get near stalions so bravo your very lucky!
Merlin is a pure Eriskay Pony. Modern Eriskay ponies are the last surviving remnants of the original native ponies of the Western Isles of Scotland. They have ancient Celtic and Norse connections and Eriskays have been proven by measurement to be of similar proportions to those found on ancient Pictish stones throughout the North and West of Scotland. The Eriskay Pony is classed as critical by the Rare Breeds Survival Trust. It is our desire to breed from Merlin to ensure the long term survival of the breed. Physically Merlin typifies our image of the ancient horse and with his easy going, affable nature, quick stallion mind and lively temperament he is proving to be a joy to own and work with.
