My beautiful boy! (please excuse a proud owner post!)

[Mrs B]

I have been lucky enough to have Merlin for 5 years now but have very few photos of him and none of us together until this one, taken by the OH.

Please excuse both the rider's position and gratuitous post but.... I love him to bits!!

What a beautiful boy - what is his breeding, how old, what do you do together?

WOW ! what a beautiful horse, now wonder you love him to bits. Its a lovely photo too.

 

[Mrs B]

Thank you both!
I know I am biased, but...

He's an IDx (prob Connie), 15.3hh and 15 years old. We mostly hack but he loves jumping and is much more talented in the school than I am. He's a saint on the roads and a darling to ride, as you can see by the amount of bridle on him!

Mostly, I just love being in his company, on his back or not...

*slaps self for being such a soppy moo...*

He is lovely. And in my opinion if you have it flaunt it.

Lovely photo - gorgeous horse. You look so together

He's also very special as he's the best present my late Mum could have bought for me. He was the last horse she rode before she died in an accident, aged 80. If ever I was feeling sad after that and I went to cuddle him, he would put his muzzle over my heart and leave it there. Like he knew where I hurt. It's most odd.

But it's probably about carrots!

Wow kate that gave me shivers reading your last post.
He is stunning and don't apologise. Lovely to see such a happy natural pairing between horse and rider.
