Oakley Top – 6-Year-Old Dressage Gelding | 17hh | Hennessey x Amelia (Jacardo)

​

Oakley Top is an elegant 6-year-old Dutch Warmblood gelding standing 17hh, sired by the talented Hennessey and out of Amelia, a proven Jacardo daughter.

​

His sire Hennessey (De Niro x Jazz) is known for producing offspring with exceptional rideability, expressive movement, and a strong work ethic — qualities that clearly shine through in Oakley. His dam line adds power and refinement, with Jacardo bringing modern type, elasticity, and a calm, trainable temperament that makes his offspring standouts in the dressage ring and reliable partners for amateur riders alike.

 

True to his breeding, Oakley Top embodies the best of both worlds: an intelligent, kind, and people-oriented gelding with three quality gaits and a natural desire to please. He is currently in professional dressage training and shows excellent potential to move up the levels with ease.

Oakley’s steady, forgiving nature makes him an ideal choice for an amateur or nervous rider seeking a confident, uncomplicated partner with genuine talent and heart.

 

He is currently schooling the following movements in his regular training, most of the movements are worked on weekly, many are just preliminary introductions to help build skill, diversity of use of body and mind, strengthening his core, back, and hind end: Good rhythm and control in all gaits, self carriage, stretching work in all gaits, lengthening, and collecting of all gaits, leg yield/renvers/travers in all gaits, simple changes, walk-> canter transitions, walk pirouettes, 10 m circles and up, very lightly touched on some counter canter.

 

Oakley's strongest trait is his desire to please, his enjoyment of the work, and his ability to continuously rise to the occasion. This guy just gets better and better as his ride progresses.

A special young horse with the pedigree, temperament, and talent to go far — while keeping his rider smiling every day.
