16.1hh | 8-Year-Old Bay Warmblood Gelding
Benny is a handsome 16.1hh bay Warmblood gelding with exceptional breeding. He is by the legendary Cornet Obolensky out of an Argentinus mare.
His full sibling, Pepper van het Oosthof, competes successfully at 1.60m Grand Prix level with Dutch international rider Doron Kuipers, highlighting the quality of this outstanding family.
Benny was purchased directly from his breeder at auction as a yearling and brought to the UK. He was professionally backed as a four-year-old but has never been campaigned in British Showjumping, instead enjoying a varied, low-pressure life.
He has three active, correct paces, a quality canter and a lovely, trainable attitude.
Benny schools beautifully on the flat, does his changes, is snaffle-mouthed and responsive off the leg. With his quality movement, natural ability and trainable attitude, he would excel in the dressage ring and has all the attributes needed to produce a smart, competitive test. He enjoys his work and would thrive with someone wanting to focus on dressage, clinics, riding club activities and having lots of fun.
He hacks happily alone and in company and enjoys getting out and about.
Although exceptionally well bred, Benny is happy living a varied life and doesn’t need to be worked every day. In the right hands, he’s a genuine, affectionate horse with so much to offer.
He’s a pleasure to have on the yard, with a lovable personality, and is good to shoe, clip and load. Fully up to date with vaccinations, worming, teeth and physio.
If you’re looking for a quality horse to enjoy in the dressage ring, out hacking, at riding club and on plenty of adventures, Benny could be your perfect match.
