Oreo, a striking 5-year-old cob gelding standing at 16hh. Oreo is a truly eye-catching horse with beautiful, balanced conformation and an exceptionally pretty presence. His gorgeous white tail gives him a unique look that turns heads everywhere he goes — he’s one of those horses that always gets noticed for his good looks and charm. With his smart markings and lovely build, Oreo is the perfect example of a well-put-together cob, combining strength, balance, and quality in one impressive package.

Oreo has a wonderful temperament and is a genuine pleasure to have around. He is kind, good-natured, and always willing to please, making him an ideal partner for riders of different levels. Here, he is regularly ridden by novice students and takes everything in his stride, showing patience and a sensible outlook that makes him very easy to trust. He works in a snaffle, is light in the hand, and goes sweetly off the leg, giving his rider a comfortable and confidence-building ride every time.

He’s lovely to hack, whether alone or in company, and is excellent in traffic. He’s well used to all kinds of farm machinery and country life, making him a brilliant choice for someone who enjoys relaxed rides through lanes, fields, or open countryside. Oreo is also a lovely, straightforward horse to take hunting — he’s sensible in open spaces, polite in a group, and enjoys getting on with the job.

Oreo has been schooled on the flat, over show jumps, and across cross-country fences. He’s honest and brave to a fence, has a good natural rhythm, and is already confidently jumps up to 90cm here. With his three balanced, comfortable paces and his enthusiastic, can-do attitude, he shows great potential for any all-round job. He’s the type of cob who will happily turn his hoof to a bit of everything — from hacking and hunting to riding club and fun days out.

He is easy to handle in every way — good to shoe, box, catch, ride, and in traffic. Oreo has no stable vices and is open to any vetting. His calm and adaptable temperament means he would suit a wide variety of homes: he would make a fantastic mother–daughter share, a brilliant addition to a riding school, or a trustworthy and fun happy hacker for someone wanting an easy, enjoyable companion.

The price includes delivery to your yard anywhere in the UK, and we offer an exchange if you’re not completely happy with him.

Harvey – Exceptional Quiet 4yo Piebald Cob Gelding

Harvey is a truly special horse who ticks every box. He is a 4-year-old beautifully marked piebald cob gelding, standing at 15hh at present with plenty of growing left to do. He is a proper leg-in-each-corner type with excellent bone, strong limbs and beautiful feathers — a real head-turner wherever he goes.

What really sets Harvey apart is his extraordinary temperament. He is genuinely quiet, kind and level-headed, without being lazy or dull. He is sensible beyond his years and is the type that makes you feel safe and confident the moment you sit on him. Because of this, he would be ideal for a novice rider, riding school, mother-daughter share or a happy hacking home, yet he has more than enough quality for someone experienced to enjoy and bring on.

Harvey is a dream to ride. He is eager to please, very comfortable, and a pleasure to ride every single day. He has a soft snaffle mouth, works happily into a lovely natural outline, and is a straight, correct mover with an especially nice trot and canter. He is well schooled on the flat and shows enormous showing potential.

He also loves to jump and has jumped up to 90cm here with ease. He enjoys show jumping and cross country, making him a very versatile horse suitable for a wide range of disciplines and riders.

Out hacking, Harvey is as good as gold. He hacks alone or in company, is excellent in traffic, and is unfazed by farm machinery, open spaces and new surroundings. He takes everything in his stride and never gets silly or sharp.

On the ground, he is just as easy. Harvey is easy to catch, shoe, box, handle and ride, and is a genuine pleasure to have around the yard. He is the kind of horse that everyone falls in love with.

Quiet, kind and genuine

Suitable for beginners, riding schools or family homes
