Description

----------



The name would've been perfect for a DD Blackbird foal, but whatever..

Super quick, shoddy ref pic. I wanted to try something new, and sort of failed miserably. x.x;

Anyway, just one more Hano kiddo from this season's breedings, mwahaha!


----------


Registered Name: DD Merlot
Barn Name: Merl
Gender: Mare
D.O.B.: July 1st (5yo or so, here)
Breed: Hanoverian
Sire & Dam: EDS Murphy's Law x MNS Have A Nice Dream
Phenotype: "Brown" seal bay with short hind stockings and a wide, crooked, short blaze going from a bit below the eyes to her lower chin. One white ermine-spot on the RF.
Eyes: Dark brown
Genotype: Ee / Ata
Height: 16.3hh
Build: Medium-heavy build, she's got great bone, and a nice, proportioned body to her. A little curvy, but extremely muscular, she's a thing of beauty when she comes on the bit and rounds up. Her legs are long and slender, but very strong, which enables for lots of those dramatic, impulsive dressage movements. In fact, her freedom of movement and straightness are quite spectacular. Even if she might seem a little thickset at first glance, she's very much flexible and light in the way she handles herself in-hand and undersaddle. No one can say they've ever seen her heavy on the forehand, in fact, lol. Also, her head is just slightly blocky, but her awe-inspiring gaits make up for it.

Breeder: Hazel-rah of Double Dance .

Owner: Cookie1992

Temperament: Thankfully, she didn't inherit her father's accident-prone tendencies, but more of her dam's level-headed, serene tranquility. She's got Murphy's pleasant and sociable personality, all while being tender, surefooted, patient and quiet. She's really an ideal mare, especially for those learning, since she's quite the push-button horse, and can teach up-and-coming riders the ropes, without getting frustrated by their less-than accurate aids. Kind of the "babysitter" school-horse type. Few people don't fall in love with her sweet disposition, illustrious grace and amazing willingness.
Discipline(s): Dressage
Main trainer/rider: Freja Gruenewald & Jeremiah Maxwell
Offspring: N/A
Restrictions: Must be bred to realistic colored, pure Hano studs only (DevNote me to discuss otherwise.)
Availability: Currently unavailable for private leases.

Lol, why do you want "many Hanoverians"? Anyway, you could always just breed them like most people do, or create your own Foundation ones..

But, no, this horse isn't for sale, sorry.

Not yet. When one of my horses is open for private breedings, it'll say so in their stats. Please read the description, in the future.

The horse blends really well with the background. From the thumbnail, the horse almost looked like it was a photograph.

Depends. For this, I used SAI Painter, but I usually use OC.

Thanks. Yeah, the name comes from a mare I know. :3 Her full-blooded brother is called Pinot. How cute, right?
