Ray Merrick said of Scrumlo Firelight in an article in the ASH Mag by Joy Poole: I broke him in, recalls Ray. He was a beautiful horse, a very kind horse. If you needed to bring him in out of the paddock you could catch him anywhere and lead him in off the horse you were riding. He was the quietest stallion I ever had anything to do with. He was a very good walking horse with a lot of ability but unfortunately he was never performed at rodeos and campdrafts, but only used on the place (Scrumlo Station). He was like a lot of the Bobbie Bruce horses. He had that beautiful , broad, flat forehead and those big brown eyes out the side of his head. He was what I would call a very good type of ASH, about 15hh, a bay horse, solidly built with a star on his forehead.
