The founder of Merlin’s KIDS named the organization for her special white Lipizzan stallion, whose magnificent stature and gentle, nurturing manner, changed many lives. His love of children and compassion for those in fear or in pain made him a truly unique horse. True, he was just a horse to those who did not know him, but the power of animals to touch those in need, is well-documented and is recognized by many to give hope to the hopeless.
