Oli is a perfect dressage schoolmaster, he has competed successfully affiliated up to Medium but is just as happy doing a Novice test. He's qualified with an amateur rider for the Sunshine Tour at both Novice and Elementary this year (unaffiliated).

Although it's not been my discipline of choice, he has the potential to excel in the show ring. Oli has fantastic lineage, and is registered with the Arab Horse Society, so would be eligible for part-bred Arab classes.

Oli goes out regularly to polework clinics, fun rides, and dressage clinics, etc. He's good to hack out in company and is great around traffic as well as being sensible in open spaces. He prefers not to hack on his own, as he can be a bit nappy when alone. Although he will always take confidence from his rider.

I bought him as a horse who hadn't jumped, and although he enjoys lots of pole work, he hasn't taken to the jumps I've tried him with (although I'm no show jumper!)

Oli is a lovely, affectionate boy who is very much part of my family and well-loved on the yard by people and horses alike. He's great around kids and dogs, and is easy for anyone to handle. He loves nothing more than cuddles, scratches, and attention.

He's currently barefoot and has been for many years.

He also loves to help with the mucking out! (See attached video)
