Important note regarding breedings:

We are currently not breeding outside mares to Merlin.

"Merlin" is a very eye-appealing and all-around bred stallion.  His foals have had good heads, superb bone, and well-muscled bodies. His foals have all been dun factored thus far! Merlin was ridden lightly as a 2 year old, and he was extremely willing and smart.

2003 light/silvery grullo quarter horse stallion

bullet

Tested Ee aa, and so far has thrown all dun-factored foals (not tested, but should be DD for dun factor, as both his parents are grullo and all his foals have been colored)

bullet

14.3 hh and very stocky/bulldoggy built

bullet

Wonderful disposition, easy to handle.

bullet

Nice sized feet and excellent bone

bullet

Clean neck and pretty head to balance off a nice, round butt!

bullet

Throwing pretty heads, big hips, and lots of color!

bullet

Very easy keeper...stays fat on just hay or grass, and no grain. Would POP out muscles if lightly fed grain and ridden again. Wow!

bullet

30 days riding in 2005, so is just green broke. Quick learner, but not the smoothest ride...he is too muscular to be a smooth riding horse.  Crossing him on a taller or more leggy mare is perfect! He'll put the bone and muscle on the baby.

bullet

17 crosses to King P234, 12 crosses to Zantanon and 12 to Little Joe.

bullet

EVA Tested Negative and Annually Vaccinated

HERDA tested, N/N (negative, not a carrier)

Pedigree Notes       Photos of Merlin      Offspring Colors     Back to Top

Offspring

As of the end of the 2009 foaling season, Merlin produced 100% colored foals. Until he has had 15 foals from sorrel, bay, and black mares, we can't claim with certainty that he is homozygous for dun factor. But at this time, the odds are very much in favor that he is!
UPDATE:  After the 2008 foal crop, Merlin's percentages are even better.

For example (using just his 2007 foal colors), the odds of him producing all dun-factored foals from the 6 plain-colored mares he has foals from would be 1.56% if he was not homozygous (15 in 1000).

The odds of a non-homozygous stallion producing all color from 6 plain-colored mares and 5 colored mares, which is his record so far, are about 0.371% (3 in 1000).

With odds like these, it's overwhelmingly likely that he is homozygous for dun factor!
