Midnight

The Shy Baby

Midnight was born at Roots in May 2026, the son of Style and Messi. He’s shy, gentle and slowly turning from brown to grey.

Personality

Midnight is one of the youngest boys at Roots and definitely one of the shy ones. He’s still learning about people and the world, and likes to take everything at his own pace. He’s also going through an amazing change: he started out dark brown, much like his dad Messi, but he’s gradually turning grey. It feels like watching a different little horse emerge as he grows, and we’re waiting to see whether he inherits some of Dad’s big personality too.

Shy, gentle, young and still discovering the world.

Family

Son of Style and Messi.

Meet Midnight on the Beach Walk

Midnight is too young to be ridden. Young horses aren’t ridden until they’re ready. On the Beach Walk & Freedom you walk the herd to Cas en Bas beach, get to know each horse and watch them roll, splash and play. No riding needed.

Rates from US$50 per person

Every ride is private, with your own guide, photos and videos of your ride, and a horse ridden once a day at most.
