Thanks everyone who has watched and shared Olaf's video. We've seen a lot of questions about Olaf's breeding, and would like to confirm he's a Cob type, this is the recognised European name for the breed, we do recognise that in North America these are referred to as Vanners. Please donate today to help us rescue the next Olaf - bit.ly/3srv2UM
That is exactly what they are known here as in the states. And I'm telling you now, Olaf would cause quite a commotion over here as our horses and ponies do not look like this at all. Everybody would just go crazy for the wonderful action and style of this little guy. He's simply beautiful and I would just love to have him in the barn.
Thank you. She kept referring to Olaf as a youngster. How old do you think he is? He seems well-filled out for a very young horse. Will he get much taller? Just curious, he is gorgeous, in any case.
He is a beauty. Little stepping cob?? I took a wee mini shetland colt on ..I was isolated with him with not much experiance. I kept him for just 6 weeks or so. I only had a shelter for him. I had all the innoculations passport worm counts .. and he was the best creature. Id take him out on lead etc..let him run and graze where i could. I did eventually give him to an equine assisted therapy place..the same reason i bought him . Alas, i had no land, I was told it wasn't appropriated enough taking him out on lead etc. But my oh my; he screamed as they took him ..he was so loved and he evidently loved us. I doted on him.. I'm haunted; as I'd never heard such a fearful 😨 sound. I hope he never forgets us.. lil Bryn😔
🥰 I just adore him. I'm so thankful he was rescued and watching him in the field with his flagged tail, he looked like he was floating on air and you could feel his happiness. ❤
i can see little olaf in a show ring what a pretty showy boy he is he looked gorgeous prancing round with his tail held high world horse welfare are fantastic and give countless horses.ponies a second chance at life 💕
I can see the pep in his step the moment his hooves touched grass. What a heartwarming sight to behold. You have brought joy to this pony, I thank you for your compassion and understanding of what freedom truly means to a horse. I believe in karma, I believe you shall be rewarded in leaps and bounds when you least expect it. You are a wonderful person.
Thanks for your comment Nancy, World Horse Welfare’s vision is a world where every horse is treated with respect, compassion and understanding. So your comment is very much appreciated.
He has got the cutest gate! You can tell he feels good because he sure is a prancing proud pony! She almost looks like he double steps or skips I don't know but it is adorable! I thank God for organizations like you and I'm thankful for a smart landowner who knew what to do and that little Olaf what a little show off I can't tell you how much I love it! Keep up your phenomenal work hopefully maybe someday the world won't need places like this.. oh who am I kidding I'm just thankful you're there!
What a cutie Olaf is. He's just precious. I can't imagine someone dumping their horse on someone else's property. Wonder what happened to his mom? Glad he is in your skillful and caring hands.
What a lovely liitle foal this is.And look at him, how he is running around in that field. Só happy and proud. He is a real personality.🐴🐴😊😊 Many greethings from the Netherlands.🌷⚘🌷⚘🌷⚘
Olaf is in my opinion, the most beautiful horse I have ever seen. He must have escaped from someplace because I can't imagine him being deliberately abandoned, then to, people sometimes do some very mean things.
Hi LMD, Olaf was seized under the Control of Horses Act, you can find more information about how this works here - www.worldhorsewelfare.org/what-we-do/our-campaigns/success-stories/control-of-horses-act-england-and-wales
I absolutely adore Olaf! Love the little skip in his trotting, so cute! And he is so fluffy! I would adopt him in a hot minute if I didn't live on the other side of the Pond with no room for him....
I wouldn’t have thought such a little horse would be so graceful when he finally, after who knows how long if ever, got to run and dance. Simply beautiful. Thank you for putting him on the road to a happy life.
Very interesting to see he way that Olaf went through his paces, as soon as he was released. He has a beautiful high-action trot there, but also we saw a little bit of an extended trot before he broke into a canter. His Mother must have done some educating before they became separated.
I thought he looked like a Gypsy Vanner with his markings and the copious mane and feathering on his fetlocks! They are such a beautiful, spritely horse! I've fallen in love with them since first becoming aware of the breed a few years ago. It's such a shame Olaf lost his mom so young, but I'm really glad he found his way to you! He's where he needs to be now. Thx for everything you do for the horses! 🐎 💜
Wow! That is one gorgeous pony! And what fantastic action he has! That little guy could be a good starter horse for a kid to learn on. Too bad someone couldn’t have run a comb through his mane and especially that tail he is so proudly flagging!
That is one stunning beauty. Whole shit!!!! How do u toss that hunk out the door?? I would luv to find a boy like him. I've had horses most of my life. Thank u mommy. That was the best thing u ever did for me. I luv u mum.
He is so beautifully colored. Such a handsome, cocky devil. Thank-you for rescuing him, would have been a shame to lose him. Just watching him dance around his pasture is such a pleasure.
Olaf is quite the stunner and think he could be up for a bit of mischief given the opportunity! Just a real charmer and a loving spirit! A happy soul !
Beautiful little Gypsy Vanner with possible cross of something else, his movement is not typical of Vanner, so I keep thinking there's something else in there. Especially his nose shape. He's going to be smaller but excellent little draft horse. He looks like he has amazing joints and strength. I hope he ends up somewhere that people will love the heck out of him and cherish his beauty.
He moves like a Friesian. Beautiful gait. But the tail held high says Arab. I wonder if there is a way of looking at his dna and identifying what the other breed is.

What BEAUTIFUL action he has! Adorable pony.
He's quite a mover!
Yes such great stride and steady gait! Love him!
I was thinking the same thing. How beautiful he carries himself. Where is he now?
He's awesome I love ponies and horses and all other animals they're awesome
He has a wonderful trot. I'd take him home in a heartbeat if I could.
He looks so smooth, even cantering 🤗👍🏼
Even cantering! @@lynnhoffmann247
What wonderful movement Olaf has. That extended trot .... just wow!
I thought the same thing. Wonderful rhythm and grace.
His markings are beautiful! Glad to see his was rescued before it get too bad. Loved the prancing he does in the field!
Beautiful little youngster. Moves likes he's floating
🥰 I just adore him. I'm so thankful he was rescued and watching him in the field with his flagged tail, he looked like he was floating on air and you could feel his happiness. ❤
Doesn't he look amazing!! The way he carries himself, it brings a tear to my eye xx I just adore him so much xx
Those eyes, tail, mane, and trot, what a beauty! So glad he was rescued. 🤗

He is PAINFULLY adorable!
That’s one of the cutest little boys I’ve ever seen! I’m sure finding a home for him won’t be a problem!
Speaking as someone who knows NOTHING about horses, I love his fluffy feeties! He's so precious. :-)
Gypsy Vanner was my first thought. Beautiful.
He's beautiful!!
His movement is outstanding.. what a cutie..
He is stunning and his gait makes him look as if he is floating, beautiful boy!
What a cutie Olaf is. He's just precious. I can't imagine someone dumping their horse on someone else's property. Wonder what happened to his mom? Glad he is in your skillful and caring hands.
Hard to imagine anyone giving up on Olaf. They ought to be able to sell him in the blink of an eye.
He is a good looking little guy.
Don't know much about horses, but he looks beautiful.
Olaf is such a beautiful, gorgeous, interesting horse. Just a beauty.
What a lovely liitle foal this is.And look at him, how he is running around in that field. Só happy and proud. He is a real personality.🐴🐴😊😊 Many greethings from the Netherlands.🌷⚘🌷⚘🌷⚘
Wow, was hat der kleine Kerl für einen tollen Trab. Pony mit Schwebephase! 🤩
Aww hes so sweet you really have given him a second chance in life 💕
We couldn't do it without our supporters!
That would be a dream come true if someone dumped a beautiful darling like this at my place. I would take it in and love it forever.
Olaf is in my opinion, the most beautiful horse I have ever seen. He must have escaped from someplace because I can't imagine him being deliberately abandoned, then to, people sometimes do some very mean things.
He's one of the cutest release I've seen! Beautiful boy!
Beautiful pony, looks like Gypsy Vanner miniature !
He is a darling! Beautiful markings!
In the stride you can see the (Happy).
Beautiful video. Stellar horse! Thank you for sharing Olaf. SHINE ON!!!
I’m obsessed with this baby chap! What a sweetie. He definitely has baby written all over him.
What a beautiful little gypsy? 🐎‼️ He's got the cutest little 1step (we call it in TX) & is going to make a lovely riding 🐎 1 day ❣️✌️
Looks like a mini gypsy vanner horse. I have one, he is beautiful!!! These are a very sought after breed, Who would abandon him!?
In UK we call them cobs.
Makes me suspicious that he was stolen then abandoned because of fear or problems of the thieves.
He's beautiful! Thanks for rescuing him.
This little foal needs to be washed and taken care of. I love him so happy and proud+ he's black and white my favorite colors!
Thanks Elvina, now he's getting more confident with his grooms, they've been getting him used to being groomed!
A young foal in good condition like he was, was most likely missing, not abandoned. Were serious efforts made to find his owners?
Hi LMD, Olaf was seized under the Control of Horses Act, you can find more information about how this works here - www.worldhorsewelfare.org/what-we-do/our-campaigns/success-stories/control-of-horses-act-england-and-wales
Wow! He’s the best looking pony I have ever seen! Beautiful gait! Needs a bath…..
Thanks Elizabeth, now he's getting more confident with his grooms, they've been getting him used to being groomed!

Sich a wonderful baby!
Whoever abandoned him should see what they lost. What a beautiful baby!!
I wouldn’t have thought such a little horse would be so graceful when he finally, after who knows how long if ever, got to run and dance. Simply beautiful. Thank you for putting him on the road to a happy life.
