His approach differed from the busy battle scenes of the period. Verbeeck focused on the horse as a singular subject. He frequently placed a white horse in the foreground to create a strong visual contrast against darker backgrounds. His use of light was functional rather than dramatic. It served to define the physical volume of the horse and its harness. He worked with a limited palette of olive and grey tones. This restraint allowed him to produce works that were both realistic and serene.

Modern collectors appreciate the directness and clarity of these compositions. The work lacks the clutter of typical seventeenth-century genre painting. This simplicity makes his prints effective in rooms with a clean aesthetic. His etchings and paintings are records of historical saddlery and breed types. They represent a period when artists began to prize naturalistic observation over mythological allegory.
