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.

Oh thanks for the pictures, he looks so lovely!
I don't have blog and my boy is currently out on loan, so I can't see him as often unfortunately.
I've got a whole album on facebook though, if you want to have a look.
You can see how bad he looked when I got him (for free! and no clue about how to care for them) and them getting him down to Glasgow and now he is looking so good with his carer and she is teaching me all there is to know to look properly after the wee cookie monster :)

excuse my riding, it was after the hack and my legs/knees were knackered. I am getting lessons though.
Sorry jenny, I can't access your facebook. You could email me your name and then I can add you as a friend.

Oh yes he is quite a looker! This winter should be fun for you... sounds as if you have everything under control. (Murphy is my close personal friend, so I said that with my fingers and toes crossed!)
