The November Youhorse.auction attracted a record number of visitors, and the KWPN approved stallion It’s Otto was the cherry on top. The 10-yr-old son of Etoulon VDL, who has been competing up to the 1.35m level with Dutch rider Albert Zoer, will go to Canada for 65,000 euro.

The auction catalogue described It’s Otto as, “so easy for a girl to ride it. All the buttons are there. In addition to being a wonderful jumping horse, it can also be a fantastic equitation horse. It’s Otto stands out with its light-footedness and caution and also has promising offspring. It’s Otto descends 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 1.50-1.60m level.”

Auction organizer Mario Everse was pleased with the proceedings of the November auction. “Absolutely great; with the KWPN stallion It’s Otto we had, of course, a very special offer and, as expected and hoped for, he was the auction topper of the evening. There was a lot of interest anyway for this collection, the number of visitors on the website broke all records!”
