'Merry' is a black 13hh mare of excellent quality and breeding. She had a good in-hand and ridden showing career in the UK, and excels as a driving pony both as a single or a pair. I trained her to harness 10 years ago for a client, and ended up buying her soon afterwards to be part of my small but growing herd and as a family pony. Merry enjoyed going back into the showring in September 2005 at the AFPF Fell Pony Breed Show, she had a good day taking 2nd place in the Broodmare class and being Best Turned Out Champion. ‘Merry’ has proved to be the Studs most successful broodmare producing quality foals with good characters and conformation. She has bred two colt foals Globetrotter Nimrod and Globetrotter Orion, and a filly foal Globetrotter Polikarpov. ‘Merry’ has had a break from being a broodmare in 2004/5 and went back into driven work, which she enjoyed, attending a few local events as a pair with fellow mare ‘Precious’, where they were both much admired. She ran out with our grey stallion Murthwaite Tikka and very sadly lost her 2008 foal at birth. She ran with Murthwaite Tikka in April 2008, and is confirmed in foal. Merry has now been brought back into driven work and enjoying herself.
