The Youhorse.auction in November attracted a record number of visitors and the KWPN-approved stallion It’s Otto was the icing on the cake. The 10-year-old son of Etoulon VDL, who competed up to the 1.35 m class with the Dutch rider Albert Zoer, is going to Canada for 65,000 euros.
In the auction catalog, It’s Otto was described as “so easy for a girl to drive.” All buttons are there. Not only is it a wonderful jumping horse, but it can also be a fantastic riding horse. Otto is characterized by light-footedness and caution and also has promising offspring. Otto is descended from the 1.50m jumping stallion Etoulon VDL, who gives his offspring a lot of jumping quality. Seventeen children from Etoulon VDL are already jumping at a level of 1.50 to 1.60 m.”
Auction organizer Mario Everse was satisfied with how the November auction went. “Awesome; we of course had a very special offer with the KWPN stallion It’s Otto and, as expected and hoped, he was the auction winner of the evening. There was already a lot of interest in this collection, the number of visitors to the website broke all records!”
