Welsh Cob Confuses Grand Prix Riders - Guess His Age

Gorgeous Merlin is a 14.3 old welsh cob. He can turn his hoof at anything from dressage, games, jumping, and obstacles to chasing cows; he is a horse who can do it all.

His owner Steph told us:

"I have had his hocks and stifles x-rayed and ultra-sounded and there is no arthritis - our vet is very impressed with his range of motion. He has been on Equine Joint Plus for the last 3 years as I always believe prevention is better then waiting for something to go wrong.

The Equine Joint Plus supplement has helped Merlin fool people about his age. He has had Grand Prix riders not believe he really is 20, due to how well and freely he moves, and how he and does lateral movements with such ease."

It's wonderful to see Merlin still going from strength to strength, especially as he will be turning a respectable 21 later this year. You can see a short video of Merlin in action here.

Good on you Steph for prioritising your horse's joint health and setting him up to enjoy a comfortable life for longer. He definitely deserves it!
