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.

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.

  • Qualified For Royal International 2024 + 2025
  • Reserve Supreme Novice At CHAPS Championships
Very sad sale of ‘Ted’ after a fantastic six years together due to my up and coming youngsters coming out under saddle - I sadly do not have time for them all and do not have the capacity to show two coloureds in the same section

It took me two years to source a traditional of this size, substance and colour, eventually finding him in Ireland as a raw 5 year old. Traditionals of his size and quality are very few and far between.

Ted is very low mileage being backed and broken in at 5, then spent a couple of quiet years hacking due to covid restrictions. He has then had four show seasons, two novice years which concluded on winning the novice final at CHAPS championships then standing reserve supreme novice. The past two seasons he has competed at county level, qualifying for the Royal International Horse Show both in 2024 (where he finished 5th) and in 2025

Ted is home produced by myself (an amateur), and enjoys hacking, plus work in the menage, clinics etc. He is good with tractors, cyclists and other vehicles whilst hacking on the road. He does not need tonnes of work, during the show season he gets worked on average 3 times per week, and he does not take hours of warming up at shows

Ted is a lovely forward ride, he is not a plod, he really covers the ground and enjoys a big show ring. He has taken me to Hickstead and around several evening performances at championship shows. On his two appearances at RIHS, we didn’t even go for a school round the night before our class, he just relaxed in his stable and we went down to the ring just before our class the next day

He enjoys living out in summer on good grass and I show him from the field. He is stabled overnight in winter and is happy to have duvet days during bad weather. He has no stable vices, he does not kick the door, crib, weave etc. He is a substantial cob with masses of mane, tail and feather which I have taken great care of to keep the hair in excellent condition for showing.

He is fully up to date with farrier, vaccinations and the dentist. He is CHAPS, BSPA and TGCA registered.

Ted would suit a competent, firm but kind rider and handler - perhaps another competitive amateur like myself with experience of riding and handling big cobs or natives.

He is available with his made to measure Fiona Cork show saddle and show bridle. No novices, happy hackers, nervous or timewasters please.

See Comtois Horse Breed on The Midlands Heavy Horse Association web site: www.mhha.org.uk/breed-information/comtois

From the estate of the late Sue ‘Daisy’ Sadler, owner of Sydney’s ExPloditions, based near Banbury, north Oxfordshire.

Fifi and Colette, rising 16 and 12 respectively. Both 16 hh, they’re not directly related, but we’re told have been together all their working lives.

Both born and bred in Southern France, they moved together to south Belgium in 2018.

Acquired by Daisy via her old friends at Stal Talpe in Belgium in Oct 2023, they proved to arguably be the easiest pair Daisy had ever had the pleasure of working.

They both come with fully stamped French passports, and will be fully vaccinated before sale. They have both settled well to working with our farrier Joe Bell, and will have their tungsten tipped shoes fitted in early April.
Classically amiable, docile and so easy to handle, they happily live and box well together. They both willingly take a saddle, though Daisy’s failing health meant we’d yet to ride them.

Can be demonstrated by Daisy’s driving colleague Sam, who took Daisy on her waggon to her final resting place in November.

Daisy’s husband Josh is on a promise to Daisy’s memory to find them a good home, so no dealers please, though commission paid for a successful introduction. Any vetting welcome.
£16,000 ono.

NB. A new home is also needed for all Daisy’s waggons, harness, and everything else accumulated from 30 years of working and travelling with heavy horses. Contact Josh, Tel or WhatsApp +44 (0)7711 331911. Email: joshsadler911@icloud.com
