Meet Merlot
Sweet little Merlot is now looking for his new home as a non-ridden companion due to confirmational issues. Merlot is a friendly little guy once he gets to know you, and he will often come over for a scratch and a cuddle in the field. He is good for the vet and farrier, he just needs someone at his head for reassurance at times. Merlot was gelded late, so he will be looking for a gelding only home. He can gain weight easily, so will also be looking for friends who are also kept on restricted grazing throughout the year. He can be stabled if need be, with a friend next door but he does not like to be left alone. If you think that you can offer Merlot a home, please apply online.
Important stuff
Merlot can never be ridden or driven.
All equines in our centres are regularly assessed by a team of experts including a vet, physiotherapist and farrier, and these assessments have found that Merlot is not suitable to be worked.
History
Merlot came in to us as a stallion with a group of ponies due to their owners health deteriorating. Once settled he was castrated and has since been out at a home.
