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.

You have me curious... Merlin is coming along, eh? He is a handsome boy.
Anything new with Merlin? Sorry to hear of your brush (so to speak) with bugs. I loath them too. But far worse for me is poison ivy! Bad juju!
Sorry Kim, no news yet!
