National Competition for Merens male of 2 years old
(La Bastide de Sérou, Ariege, 2012)
The reproducers in the Merens Breed, particularly the males, are carefully selected by the breeders' association, the SHERPA. So, the breeders select into their breeding the young Merens males who are the most related with the standard described into the Stud-book and they present them to the national competition reserved to young 2 years old males. At this competition, the jury give to the breeders a notice about the possibility for their horses to turn into a Merens stallion at the age of 3 years old. Here are perhaps the future "Merens Daddies".
