Merlin is an extremely Handsome 16.3H, Grey, 6 y/o (will be 7 in April), branded American Warmblood by Fuerst Gotthard. A hugely talented horse that has the athletic ability to succeed at just about any discipline. Has jumped 4ft with ease schooling at home with lead changes, has jumped cross-country in Aiken SC through the Hitchcock Woods, jumps anything from any distance. I have rarely ridden a horse with such athletic ability. Lovely mover with a jumping style that is a 10+! Merlin is fancy enough to do the hunters (was Reserve Champion at his first show last summer) but he LOVES and is happiest going cross country and so would excel in a variety of disciplines that cater to that type of format, from eventing to fox hunting. His trot is extremely comfortable, and his jump is careful, effortless and smooth. You can ride him cross-country on a loopy rein, gallop down to a 3ft 6” jump and never touch his mouth (although he accepts contact and frames up beautifully), but he needs a sophisticated leg to get him to perform at his top ability. He is smart and quick to learn, but can take advantage of a timid or less advanced rider, and for this reason he would be more suitable for a strong junior rider, intermediate advanced adult or professional. Presently in Aiken, SC , has hunted brilliantly 2nd flight, showed in the Woods in Aiken and placed 4th in the Classic after having gone through 3 qualifiying rounds!! Was put on the cover of the Aiken Horse Spring issue (Photo left). GREAT feet—goes barefoot; needs no pampering and loves turnout. Big bodied—great for a long-legged rider (male rider in some of the jump shots is 6’4”). Loads, clips, trailers, easy to catch and good for farrier and vet. Merlin will not suit everyone, but for the right rider he will be an amazing equine partner!!

Snoopy would be the ideal ride for a strong junior or amateur rider looking for a lovely horse who has seen it and done it all. This horse is fancy, fancy, fancy and has all the right buttons! Many, many championships and wins at the A and AA shows in the Large Junior Hunters, USEF Medal Maclay, and Children's/ Adults Hunters. Snoopy has qualified and shown at the big equitation finals and the East Coast Junior Hunter Finals. He has great flatwork, previous dressage training, and is a lovely ride for the equitation classes. This horse loves to show! Owner is currently very busy in medical school and wishes to find Snoopy a wonderful partner who will continue to show and ride him. Terms negotiable to the right situation.
