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.

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.

  • Huge potential in any discipline
  • Fantastic temperament
  • Embraces life
Broken last year he was turned away over the winter to mature and brought back in to work end of January. Since then he has been showjumping, jumping fillers and full courses, a flat showing clinic with a ride judge and arena eventing, which he loved.

This little horse is still very green and a long way off being the full package but he has taken on every challenge with enthusiasm and a willing attitude.

He is now ready for an experienced and competent person to continue his education.

Please no novices, he is a forward thinking fun cob who still needs guidance and his hand holding.

He will make a fantastic working show cob along with lots of potential in so many areas.

Has been to riding club camp, fun rides and group hacks. Good in open spaces

A very endearing character who likes attention and a fuss. Good to clip, shoe, catch.

  • 37 BD points,

  • Is hacked/cantered/schooled by his 70 year old owner in a snaffle
For sale on behalf of his owner. 15.1 hands L/W black Irish cob with four white socks and face.

8 years old, owned since 4 year old. Lovely laid back temperament but forward-going so not a novice/first horse. Very well schooled, has 37 BD points, easily working at Elementary with scope to go further. Collects, extends and lateral work established. Won nearly every dressage test he has contested. Highest score 72%. Ready to compete. Lovely paces and really moves from his shoulder.

Is hacked/cantered/schooled by his 70 year old owner in a snaffle, on his own or in company, in big open spaces. Good to shoe, catch, travel, clip and used to big farm machinery. Up-to-date with teeth and vacs. Easy to handle. Passed a 5 stage vetting when I bought him.

Has not shown but would do so easily as impeccably behaved in the warm up at busy shows. He enjoys polework but hasn’t jumped as I don’t. Needs a varied life not just arena work. A real character who does not buck, rear, whip round etc. May occasionally spook if genuinely scared.

Very sad sale due to mature lady owner’s spinal surgery and the long recuperation required.

A knowledgeable, permanent 10* home required as whoever buys him will be very happy indeed! Price includes his dressage saddle, bridle and his rugs as owner giving up. Vets and accredited trainers welcome.

Herts/Essex borders, 10 min from Jct 7 Stansted Airport
