Merlot aka “Millie” is truly a once-in-a-lifetime mare—the kind of horse people spend years searching for, yet many never find. A stunning Percheron x Quarter Horse cross, she embodies steadiness, kindness, beauty, and proven reliability in every environment. At just four years old, she carries herself with the maturity and calm of a seasoned veteran, making her suitable for nearly any rider.
Proudly bearing our rare and prestigious #ELITE 3S certification, Merlot has been thoroughly trained, tested, and trusted to meet the highest standards of safety, versatility, and trainability. She’s been ridden by children, beginners, seniors, and nervous adults alike, excelling in settings ranging from trail rides to obstacle courses, beach outings, and even the busy streets of Downtown Ocala. She walks, trots, and canters with smooth, balanced gaits, jumps confidently, schools cross-country, and responds to voice cues and light aids with grace and forgiveness. More “woah” than “go,” she remains soft off the leg, always willing, and incredibly responsive. She truly is a “do it all” type of girl. She has taught many children how to ride and has even been a horse for the kids to do their very first lope/canter on.
Merlot is exceptionally desensitized to the world around her—unbothered by traffic, sirens, bikes, dogs, tractors, tarps, ropes, and more. She’s been ridden in everything from a halter and lead rope, carries a flag proudly, and remains calm and connected through it all. On the ground, she’s equally impressive: She loads easily, ties, cross ties and on ground ties. Millie bathes, clips, stands perfectly for the farrier, and simply loves attention—especially from children. Millie will sink her head into your chest for snuggles. I could go on and on about Millie, but whatever I write about her truly wouldn’t to her justice. Millie is just an extraordinary mare. I don’t say this lightly when I say, she is the most well minded horse I’ve ever had in our barn.
A sound, vice-free, easy keeper, she is the true definition of a barn favorite. We trust her completely, and she has earned that trust in every way. Whether you’re a first-time rider, a nervous re-rider, a family looking for the perfect all-around horse, or an instructor seeking a rock-solid addition to a lesson program, Merlot fits the bill. She’s safe, fun, no-maintenance, and incredibly consistent—ride her every day or once a month, and she’ll be exactly the same.
Letting her go won’t be easy, but we stand behind this mare fully and know she’ll bring her next home the same joy she’s brought to us. Just like people get health insurance for peace of mind, buying a well-trained, well-prepared horse is an investment in your own safety and enjoyment. Give yourself the best chance at success by purchasing an #ELITE #3S horse. Merlot “Millie” is your insurance policy.
