At last we managed to get some film of Merlin playing football. Although it's mostly me running around, fetching the ball and him hogging it and cuddling it! He does love his new ball now that he's no longer afraid of it. I hope the link below works. Sorry for the quality, I'll try for some more footage tomorrow.
Merlin's freestyle

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 this it too good! Reminds me of the game "Mommy Fetch" all toddlers play... and we moms love! He really is a nice mover, I can't see what the Society might not like. His coat is a shaggy one, did you get alot of snow this year, or did most of it miss you? Kim, he is just super!
Thanks Kim :) We didn't get very much snow and Toffee has even more coat than Merlin!!! The birds love it - fur lined nests :)

What fun watching the video.
Amazing Merlin! He is a football pro with a big career ahead of him. Amusing how he has a staff to manage the ball for him. What a boy!
I know my place, Strawberry, and it's as his assistant :)
