Charl Oosthuysen Stables - Top-Quality American Saddlebred Care & Training

At Charl Oosthuysen Stables, we see this magic happen every day. A little girl walks into the stables with doubt, but she walks out taller, stronger, braver. Horses don’t just teach them how to ride—they teach them courage, confidence, and self-worth. They show them that strength isn’t just about muscles, but about heart.

Our young riders aren’t just learning a sport. They’re discovering who they are—fearless, capable, and absolutely enough. And in the eyes of their horses, they are already perfect.

We couldn’t be prouder of Nina Swart and her incredible horse, Night of All, for their outstanding performance at the Swellendam Show in the 10 years and under class!

Nina’s dedication, hard work, and love for horses shine through in everything she does. Her natural ability to connect with Night of All is something truly special, and their partnership is a joy to watch. Every achievement in the ring is a reflection of the time, effort, and passion she puts into this sport.

Congratulations, Nina! Your hard work is paying off, and we can’t wait to see where this journey takes you next!

A Supreme Performance at Riversdal Show!

What a moment to witness Properly Supreme claim the Three-Gaited Championship at Riversdal Show! Every step, every movement was a testament to the dedication, skill, and hard work that brought him to this level.

With expert riding and training shaping him into the incredible athlete he is today, Supreme looked nothing short of spectacular— the pair… dapper, polished, and the perfect picture of elegance. That victory round was simply “Hoendervleis mooi”—a sight to remember!

Proud is an understatement. Here’s to many more winning moments ahead! Charl Oosthuysen

“Meet MAVERICK”…

…already living up to his name in every way!

‘Maverick’ stands for the lone wolf, the one who shuns custom and blazes his own trail.

Now this boy has some serious gumption!

From his strong, independent spirit to the way he holds his own in the paddock, he’s everything the name symbolizes—unafraid to go against the crowd and proud to be different.

Whether he’s galloping freely or showing his sharp mind in the showring, he’s a true maverick in every sense.

Can’t wait to see where his journey takes us!”

Tnx Piet Moller (breeder) he’s a beaut…

Expertly trained by Charl Oosthuysen, thank you Charl!

“✨ Robertson Skou 2024 – Wat ’n ongelooflike ervaring! ✨

Die span van Charl Oosthuysen Stalle het die skou behoorlik aan die brand gehad! 🔥 Elke ruiter en ondersteuner het hul volle potensiaal uitgeleef, met liefde en ondersteuning wat ons span-gees net nóg sterker gemaak het. 💪 Die merkwaardige gees onder ons het regdeur die kompetisies geskyn.

Niks hiervan sou moontlik gewees het sonder ons afrigter, Charl Oosthuysen, nie! Sy passie, toewyding, en eindelose moeite in elke perd en ruiter het in elke klas uitgeblink. 🏅 Hierdie span is waar ons is danksy sy leierskap! 🙌

Baie dankie ook aan die Robertson Skou-genootskap vir die organisering van so ’n puik skou, asook die beamptes, beoordelaars en almal wat dit moontlik gemaak het. 👏

Ons waardeer julle moeite en die ongelooflike ervaring wat ons kon beleef! 🎉
